Most of the comprehensive work on speeches in the Commentarii is in German and in French. Rasmussen (1963) analyzes the speeches to track the change in style of the Commentarii; while Hyart (1954), Dangel (1995), and Utard (2004) focus on indirect speech.
An updated monograph on direct and indirect speech in Caesar is desirable. In particular, scholarship has concentrated on the evolution of speeches in the Commentarii, while the relation between speeches in Caesar and in the rich Greek and Roman historiographical tradition remains understudied. Their relation to the political and rhetorical context of the end of the Republic can also be productively reconsidered.
