Synopsis

This book explores the development of Notker Labeo's teachings on the art of rhetoric, emphasizing the ways in which he challenged and innovated upon traditional Roman theory over a thousand years ago. The author compares Notker's New Rhetoric to the existing rhetorical theories of Cicero, Alcuin, and others, to demonstrate Notker's grasp of his subject and his unique contributions to the field. Notker's work reimagined rhetoric's purpose and applications, situating it as a vital tool not solely for jurists and politicians but for thoughtful and engaged members of society. The book's detailed examination of Notker's rhetorical theories enhances our understanding of medieval intellectual history and illuminates the enduring power of rhetoric as an art form.
