By bringing together contextual material about Demosthenes and his speech with a translation and astute rhetorical analyses, Demosthenes’ “On the Crown”: Rhetorical Perspectives highlights the oratorical artistry of Demosthenes and provides scholars and students with fresh insights into a landmark speech.
