Borgo, “Bollettino di studi latini”, 2004, 34, (1), 214-215
Description: Focusing on narrative subtypes, Lidewij van Gils compares - after an important theoretical premise on his own research method - the parallel account of the machinations of Clodius against Milo in a letter to Atticus and in the oration pro Milon. The author demonstrates how epistolary communication prefers a simpler syntax, the sharing of common knowledge with the interlocutor, the subjective mode; by contrast contrast, public discourse, while being marked by an effort of apparent objectivity, denounces in its more complex the persuasive intent of the speaker toward his audience [A. Garcea].Works:
