reference to different translations, other works by the authormost notably his lettersand direct reference to the sociohistorical context (see, for example, the online glossary) will help the students form their own opinions and establish good habits for synoptic study and research.Even though this book is aimed at AS and A-Level students preparing for the set text exam, it will also be very useful for learners and teachers who are looking for passages to improve ongoing language development, for example, those preparing for the IB Diploma or at the beginning of their university studies.While it does not attempt to be a comprehensive companion to Cicero, and other books will do that more specifically, it is nonetheless an excellent introduction to the author through one of his works.Overall, because of the quality and efficiency in making the text approachable, this book is excellent for anyone getting started with Cicero's speeches.
