Antithesis in the Attic Orators from Antiphon to Isaeus: A Dissertation (1915)

""Antithesis in the Attic Orators from Antiphon to Isaeus: A Dissertation"" is a scholarly work written by John Emory Hollingsworth in 1915. The book focuses on the use of antithesis in the speeches of ancient Greek orators from the fifth and fourth centuries BCE. Hollingsworth examines the rhetorical devices used by these orators, including the use of contrasting ideas and language, to create powerful and persuasive speeches. The book is divided into chapters that focus on individual orators, including Antiphon, Lysias, Isocrates, and Isaeus. Through close analysis of their speeches, Hollingsworth demonstrates how these orators used antithesis to structure their arguments and appeal to their audiences. He also discusses the historical and cultural context in which these speeches were delivered, providing insights into the political and social issues of the time. ""Antithesis in the Attic Orators"" is a valuable resource for scholars of ancient Greek rhetoric and history, as well as anyone interested in the art of persuasive speech.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
