Extending from Tiro (an enslaved person in Cicero’s household) to President Obama, this seminar will attend to some of the infra/structures of preservation—replication, reputation, canonization, quotation, citation, allusion, education, tradition, translation, comparison—that have kept Cicero circulating in culture (including popular culture and the academic culture of rhetorical studies).
N.B.: Participants will be expected to acquire several academic monographs.
