Plutarch's Lives have been popular reading from antiquity to the present day, combining engaging biographical detail with a strong underlying moral purpose. The Lives of Demosthenes and Cicero are an unusual pair in that they are about unmilitary men who, while superb technically as orators, were both in the end political failures, crushed by the military power which dominated their world.

"In this companion volume to his Philosophical Books of Cicero, Paul MacKendrick provides detailed summaries of a representative sample of Cicero's speeches, each followed by analytical sections on context, law and rhetoric."

The selection also includes two examples of Ciceronian invective at its most biting: Against Vatinius and Against Piso." "This fascinating examination of Cicero's art, which includes copious notes and comprehensive indexes, will be of great value to anyone with an interest in the Roman legal system, or in the context and function of rhetoric in the Ancient World."

Sarah Culpepper Stroup, "Catullus, Cicero, and a Society of Patrons: The Generation of the Text"
English | ISBN: 0521513901 | 2010 | 322 pages | PDF | 1281 KB
This is a study of the emergence, development, and florescence of a distinctly 'late Republican' socio-textual culture as recorded in the writings of this period's two most influential authors, Catullus and Cicero. It reveals a multi-faceted textual - rather than more traditionally defined 'literary' - world that both defines the intellectual life of the late Republic, and lays the foundations for those authors of the Principate and Empire who identified this period as their literary source and inspiration. By first questioning, and then rejecting, the traditional polarisation of Catullus and Cicero, and by broadening the scope of late Republican socio-literary studies to include intersections of language, social practice, and textual materiality, this book presents a fresh picture of both the socio-textual world of the late Republic and the primary authors through whom this world would gain renown.

Cicero was one of classical antiquity's most prolific, varied and self-revealing authors. His letters, speeches, treatises and poetry chart a political career marked by personal struggle and failure and the collapse of the republican system of government to which he was intellectually and emotionally committed. They were read, studied and imitated throughout antiquity and subsequently became seminal texts in political theory and in the reception and study of the Classics. This Companion discusses the whole range of Cicero's writings, with particular emphasis on their links with the literary culture of the late Republic, their significance to Cicero's public career and their reception in later periods.
