Publisher Synopsis
One of The Times Literary Supplement's Books of the Year 2014, chosen by Emily Wilson "Joy Connolly's The Life of Roman Republicanism (Princeton), a wide-ranging look at Cicero, Sallust and Horace (and many others) in the wake of Occupy Wall Street, provides an inspiring suggestion that rethinking Roman political thought may help us change our own (North American) ideas of what it might mean to be a citizen."--Emily Wilson "Through a flow of brilliant, allusive language and analysis, Connolly brings together Cicero, Sallust, and Horace with Ricoeur, Arendt, Kant, the Shakespearean Stanley Cavell, and Occupy Wall Street...
