The transmission of literature in writing began in the Greek world with poetry; the publication of laws and regulations came later, and prose literature last, about 500 BC. This book examines the stages by which prose was turned into the sophisticated art-form practised in the fourth century BC, in particular by Plato and Demosthenes. An attempt is made to determine the linguistic conventions which can reasonably be attributed, on the analogy of other cultures, to unwritten narrative and oratory. The extent to which `content' and `form' can be separated is considered, and the stylistic choices which constitute form are treated as determining the relationship (e.g. of authority or familiarity) between creator and receiver and the balance sought by the creator between innovation and deference to the receiver's expectations.

This is the first general study of the earliest writers of Greek prose for students and teachers alike. Looking at history, medicine, science, philosophy and rhetoric, it asks why and how these new genres of writing came about in the fifth and fourth centuries BCE It is thus a study of the cultural and political revolution known as the Greek enlightenment, which has proved so influential and important for modern Western thought and society. Questions discussed include how and why rhetoric played such a role in democracy, how history written in prose changes a view of the past, and how science and philosophy construct new models of understanding what authority is. An exploration is offered of how literary history and social and political history interact. Written in a lively and clear style, the book makes a perfect introduction to the classical world of Athens.

Excerpt from The Invention of Prose Greece Rome Surveys are changing. They were inaugurated thirty-five years ago as brief essays to direct bright students and their teachers towards significant areas of critical concern in a major author's work and the relevant bibliography. Since then, they have moved on to more extended essays on areas of thought, as well as on particular authors. This essay is designed to introduce such a general area namely, the world of fifth and fourth-century Greek prose. There are already Surveys on historiography and on science and on 'ancient thought' (primarily philosophy). This book is not intended to reproduce or cannibalize those excellent studies. Rather, this Survey takes a different, complementary look at the cultural revolution of the classical polis through one of its new ways of writing. Central to this project is rhetoric as a science and a practice but it has proved impossible to think about rhetoric seriously without looking at it across the differing developing prose genres. It is an essay designed first to put rhetoric in a nuanced context of writing, second and perhaps most importantly to recapture some of the novelty and excitement of a period when genres now so familiar to us were being established. This is not a book on 'prose style': the requirements of translation and transliteration forbid exten sive analysis of such precisions of expression. Nor is this a full survey of the possible or even common discussions of all of the authors and genres mentioned: in the notes I have provided a spare and critical (rather than exhaustive) bibliography, focusing on works in English for what I assume will be a mainly Anglophone readership, and indicating where further work can be found. I have not indicated every debt, so as not to burden the text with an excessive apparatus, and the notes are solely for following up issues of interest for the reader. If this book turns some of its readers back towards Greek prose writing with a fresh eye and a wish to read on, more deeply and with a new sense of the critical issues involved then the project will have been a success.
