Description: In the Brutus Cicero shows himself an astute critic of oratorical performance. This paper examines Cicero's opinions on the different modes oj delivery employed by many of the orators he mentions in his dialogue. It ultimately reaffirms the power and significance of delivery in supporting or overriding other elements of speech-making. Finally, because the Brutus is to a large extent a record of Cicero's opinions, the dialogue opens a window on his preferences and perhaps even practice in his own oratorical delivery [Author]
