The book "The Cultivation of Character and Culture in Roman Rhetorical Education: The Available Means" delves into the intricate and organic ways in which rhetoric can foster a specific character. This study extends the current work in composition studies, which emphasizes how writing instruction contributes to students' development of individual power and agency. It also draws upon an ancient understanding of how students learned to act within a particular cultural framework.
The book recognizes and reclaims a lost dimension of rhetoric, which is conceptually linked to the martial culture of the ancient world. It demonstrates how ancient rhetorical theory framed rhetoric as an education in thinking, speaking, and acting in ways necessary to be both a persuasive speaker and an effective leader. Through close readings and analysis of specific rhetorical exercises, the book showcases how rhetorical education shaped characters that were appropriate in the eyes of the dominant culture but also capable of working independently to progressively alter that culture.
By illustrating how rhetorical education shaped a particular character, the book emphasizes the importance of a combination of character, culture, and virtue for leadership in any time. The book contributes to our understanding of the role of rhetoric in shaping individuals and societies and offers valuable insights into the dynamics of power and persuasion in ancient and contemporary contexts.
