Powers of Expression, Expressions of Power: Speech Presentation and Latin Literature - Oxford Classical Monographs
Laird, Andrew (Lecturer in Classics, Lecturer in Classics, University of Warwick)

Ancient texts are discussed in conjunction with examples from modern literature to highlight what happens when speech itself becomes the subject of a story.
