Why Arendt Matters?

Joy Connolly.

Joy Connolly works mainly on Roman ideas about politics, rhetoric, and aesthetics, their purposive conservation in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century England and America, and their ongoing relevance for contemporary democratic life. Her first book, The State of Speech (Princeton 2007), placed the ability to communicate at the heart of Roman ideals of citizenship. The Life of Roman Republicanism (Princeton 2014) examines key themes in Roman republican thought: freedom, recognition, antagonism, self-knowledge, irony, and imagination. She has also published essays on declamation, elegy, epic, and pastoral poetry, and her reviews have appeared in the Times Literary Supplement and other newspapers and magazines.
