Dialogue Concerning Oratory, or the Causes of Corrupt Eloquence
Dialogue Concerning Oratory, or the Causes of Corrupt Eloquence, written around 75 A.D., is attributed to Publius Cornelius Tacitus, though some scholars suggest Quintilian as the author. This work examines the decline of oratory skills in Roman society, attributing it to the deterioration of educational standards in both familial and academic settings. Recognized as a significant contribution to rhetorical literature, it serves as a critical reflection on the art of persuasion and the cultural shifts of the time.
