Ciceronianism  

Definición

  • In the broadest sense of this somewhat elusive concept, Ciceronianism is an attraction to Cicero giving rise to a desire to imitate him in one or more features of his manifold achievement. The initial use of the term, as well as the most frequent usage, seems to pertain to Cicero's quite universally acknowledged stylistic mastery reflected above all in his orations but also in evidence in his writings on rhetoric and philosophy as well as in his letters.
