- This 2020 volume is the culmination of a 8-year project on ‘Reading Roman Declamation’. The project was conceived in close collaboration with my co-editors, Charles Guerin and Marcos Martinho dos Santos, and manifested in a series of international workshops that we organised at Université Paul Valéry - Montpellier III (2012), France, the University of Sao Paulo (USP), Brazil and Sorbonne Université. Of the fifteen contributors to the volume, eleven delivered papers at the 2012 workshop; over the ensuing years we commissioned four other scholars in the UK, US, Mexico and France to write chapters, ensuring breadth and overall coverage (contributions by two additional scholars were excluded on the grounds of overall ‘fit’). The underlying research was funded by the Institut universitaire de France, Université Paul Valéry - Montpellier III and King’s College London (cf. p. v ‘acknowledgements’). We have also co-operated with a large scale project funded at the University of Lausanne by the Swiss National Fund and are the sole disseminators of its outcome in English (see van Mal-Mader and Pingoud-Rolle). I am sole author of one chapter on ‘Seneca and the Past’ (pp.37–56) and co-wrote the introduction with Charles Guerin (pp.1–14), which lays out the larger research contribution and disciplinary context. Guerin and I worked closely with each other and with contributors to tie together the five thematic sections of the book; this involved working with authors in developing the thinking of individual chapters, suggesting revisions, integrating cross-references to individual chapters and other publications stemming from the same project (e.g. Franchet d’Esperey 2016; Mannering 2017; Santorelli 2017, ensuring stylistic and bibliographic consistency (including the bibliography: pp. 333–354), and translating/correcting English of international scholars. The nature of these contributions is often acknowledged by individual contributors (e.g. pp. 15; 87; 110n.75; 151; 221; 254).
