A Practical System of Rhetoric: Or the Principles and Rules of Style Inferred From Examples of Writing; To Which Is Added a Historical Dissertation on English Style (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book examines how rhetoric—the art of effective or persuasive speaking and writing—can be taught and learned. The author, clearly an experienced instructor in rhetoric, begins with the historical development of rhetorical theory and practice, tracing its roots to ancient Greece and Rome, and considering its evolution over centuries. Key to his method is a focus on cultivating good thinking habits, and how these habits can improve a writer's ability to think through and express ideas. The author also considers the practical aspects of teaching rhetoric, including how to critique student work and how to facilitate the development of analytical thinking skills. Throughout, the author emphasizes that rhetoric is an essential skill for effective communication in any field, and offers a wealth of exercises and examples to guide the reader in developing and refining their own rhetorical abilities.
