Bonus Episode: Lex Paulson on Cicero and the Future of Democracy

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 Cicero and the
People’s Will: Philosophy and Power at the End of the Roman
Republic, 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!
