Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Australian Orator: Speeches, Political, Social, Literary and Theological, Delivered in the Parliament of New South Wales, and on the Public Platform A few of the following speeches were published in Sydney, New South Wales, where they were delivered, most of them in the Parliament of the country. They were very favourably received in Australia, both by Press and people, and sold rapidly. The small volume then published is now considerably enlarged by the addition of several speeches, delivered since the date of the publication referred to, and is now published in London simply to satisfy an apparent curiosity which, in England, has grown of late, and which seems greatly to concern itself with all that pertains to the young, vigorous, wealthy, and rapidly progressing colonies of Australia.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Specimens of Australian Oratory: Comprising Speeches Delivered in the at the Bar, and on the Public Platform On the 25th January, 1961, Sir Henry (then Mr.) Parkes moved the second reading of a bill to abolish capital punishment, on which occasion Mr. Buchanan delivered the following speech: - Mr. Ewart's annual motion in the House of Commons to effect the purpose of this Bill, has long rendered me familiar with all the arguments used to support the principle of the Bill now before the House, and which I trust will be thrown out by a decisive majority. The honorable member for East Sydney, Mr. Parkes, has not added anything new or original in the shape of argument, to what we have already known as being continually put forth by the upholders of his views. Indeed we could well afford to leave the honorable member unanswered, so little has he said that in any way calls for argumentative reply. The subject of prison discipline, or the proper and just dealing with prisoners, is one of large importance - all the more important when we reflect upon the strange notions that are abroad in reference to their treatment, and the spurious diseased sympathy which seems to set in in favour of great criminals, and of which the Bill now before the House seems to be an emanation. I am afraid we are going so far with our superfine philanthropy and heaven-born benevolence that we run a strong chance of losing all distinction between the virtuous and the vicious, the criminal and the upright honest man.

Download or read book Cicero Brutus and Orator written by Robert A. Kaster and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cicero's Brutus and Orator constitute his final major statements on the history of Roman oratory and the nature of the ideal orator. In the Brutus he traces the development of political and judicial speech over the span of 150 years, from the early second century to 46 BCE, when both of these treatises were written. In an immensely detailed account of some 200 speakers from the past he dispenses an expert's praise and criticism, provides an unparalleled resource for the study of Roman rhetoric, and engages delicately with the fraught political circumstances of the day, when the dominance of Julius Caesar was assured and the future of Rome's political institutions was thrown into question. The Orator written several months later, describes the form of oratory that Cicero most admired, even though he insists that neither he nor any other orator has been able to achieve it. At the same time, he defends his views against critics the so-called Atticists who found Cicero's style overwrought. In this volume, the first English translation of both works in more than eighty years, Robert Kaster provides faithful and eminently readable renderings, along with a detailed introduction that places the works in their historical and cultural context and explains the key stylistic concepts and terminology that Cicero uses in his analyses. Extensive notes accompany the translations, helping readers at every step contend with unfamiliar names, terms, and concepts from Roman culture and history.
Download or read book On the Stump written by Sean Scalmer and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2017-09 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Stumping," or making political speeches in favor of a candidate, cause, or campaign has been around since before the 1800s, when speechmaking was frequently portrayed as delivered from the base of a tree. The practice, which has been strongly associated with the American frontier, British agitators, and colonial Australia, remains an effective component of contemporary democratic politics. In his engaging book On the Stump, Sean Scalmer provides the first comprehensive, transnational history of the "stump speech." He traces the development and transformation of campaign oratory, as well as how national elections and public life and culture have been shaped by debate over the past century. Scalmer presents an eloquent study of how "stumping" careers were made, sustained, remembered, and exploited, to capture the complex rhythms of political change over the years. On the Stump examines the distinctive dramatic and performative styles of celebrity orators including Davy Crockett, Henry Clay, and William Gladstone. Ultimately, Scalmer recovers the history of the stump speech and its historical significance in order to better understand how political change is forged.
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Ancient Rhetoric written by Erik Gunderson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-09 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rhetoric thoroughly infused the world and literature of Graeco-Roman antiquity. This Companion provides a comprehensive overview of rhetorical theory and practice in that world, from Homer to early Christianity, accessible to students and non-specialists, whether within classics or from other periods and disciplines. Its basic premise is that rhetoric is less a discrete object to be grasped and mastered than a hotly contested set of practices that include disputes over the very definition of rhetoric itself. Standard treatments of ancient oratory tend to take it too much in its own terms and to isolate it unduly from other social and cultural concerns. This volume provides an overview of the shape and scope of the problems while also identifying core themes and propositions: for example, persuasion, virtue, and public life are virtual constants. But they mix and mingle differently, and the contents designated by each of these terms can also shift.
Download or read book Lycurgus written by and published by . This book was released on 1954 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: V.I. ANTIPHON of Athens, born in 480 B.C., spent his prime in the great period of Athens but, disliking democracy was himself an ardent oligarch who with others set up a violent short-lived oligarchy in 411. The restored democracy executed him for treason. He had been a writer of speeches for other people involved in litigation. Of the fifteen surviving works three concern real murder-cases, the others being exercises in speech-craft consisting of three 'tetralogies' whereof each tetralogy comprises four skeleton speeches: accuser's; defendant's; accuser's reply; defendant's counter-reply. ANDOCIDES of Athens, born c440 B.C., disliked the extremes of both democracy and oligarchy. Involved in religious scandal in 415 B.C., he went into a money-making exile. After at least two efforts to return, he did so under the amnesty of 403. In 399 he was acquitted on a charge of profaning the 'Mysteries' and in 391-390 took part in an abortive peace embassy to Sparta. Extand speeches are: 'On his Return' (a plea on his second attempt); "On the Mysteries' (a self-defence); 'On the Peace with Sparta'. The speech 'Against Alcibiades' (the notorious politician) is suspect.
