Synopsis

This book provides the substance of what distinguished Greek and Roman masters have taught on the subject of eloquence by examining principles of Classical rhetoric. The author consulted writings of Aristotle, Longinus, Cicero, Quintilian, and more, to organize all the important ideas of these rhetorical masters. Rhetorical devices such as arguments from reason, morals, and the affections are examined, along with the three types of orations: Demonstrative, Deliberative, and Judicial. By organizing classical ideas into a compact, easy-to-understand format, this book makes the study of rhetoric accessible for students and others pursuing eloquence. The result is a valuable contribution to the existing supply of standard school books.
