A few weeks back we had our dear friend, Bloomsday MC, and eminent Bloomcaster Prof. Lex Paulson as a guest in the library to give a talk on Cicero, drawing on his book <a href="https://www.cambridge.org/fr/universitypress/subjects/classical-studies/ancient-philosophy/cicero-and-peoples-will-philosophy-and-power-end-roman-republic?format=HB" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cicero and the People’s Will: Philosophy and Power at the End of the Roman Republic</a>, recently published by Cambridge University Press. Anyone who has listened to Bloomcast will know that Lex is not just a great speaker, but also a great thinker, and this talk is both an exquisite example of his work, and an insight into some of the ideas that shaped his particular and insightful approach to James Joyce’s masterwork. We were so pleased to have Lex with us that evening, and are delighted to be able to release this talk on Bloomsday. Enjoy! <hr> Hosted on Acast.
