Publication Date: March 1997| ISBN-10: 0847684504 | ISBN-13: 978-0847684502Speech in Speech explores the techniques by which Classical Greek texts written primarily for public performance weave in direct quotations (oratio recta) of 'other voices'-imagined or real. This 'speech in speech' is usually perceived as endowed with a greater vividness and authenticity than indirect quotation, even when the words report what someone might say, or enliven the verbal texture of plays and speeches, and examines the intricate relation of direct quotations to their 'originals'.

The result is not a replication of Akhmatova's style but a complement to it that often startles and gratifies with a starkness and beauty all its own. ...
