About this Item

Quintilian's (c. 35 Ð c. 100) work is a twelve-volume textbook on the theory and practice of rhetoric, first written about 95 CE. It was widely influential in its own time, and throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Though he was less popular from the early modern period onwards, he has been praised by John Stuart Mill and modern post-structuralist critics and continues to be included in anthologies of literary criticism.
