Synopsis
Excerpt from Modern Parliamentary Eloquence: The Rede Lecture, Delivered Before the University of Cambridge, November 6, 1913
A year and a half ago the Master of the most famous College in this illustrious University, your own Dr. Butler, himself a speaker of unsurpassed grace and felicity, came over to my University of Oxford to deliver the Romanes Lecture on Lord Chatham as an Orator. He confessed in his opening remarks that it had at first been his intention to deal with the history and influence of British Oratory during the century and a half from Chatham to Gladstone, but that second thoughts had induced him to curtail the range of his ambition and to confine himself to a single exemplar, though perhaps the noblest of all. There were many who regretted the self-restraint of the lecturer, and who felt that a unique opportunity had been lost of hearing judgment passed on one of the foremost of arts by one of its most gifted exponents.

Modern Parliamentary Eloquence (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of British parliamentary eloquence over the past century and a half, contrasting it with the oratory of earlier times. The author suggests that while eloquence is no longer recognized or practiced as an art, it remains a powerful tool for persuasion and is still greatly admired. The author analyzes the differences between the parliamentary eloquence of the past and present, attributing the apparent decline to changes in society, politics, and the role of the media. The author further discusses the impact of extemporaneous speaking and the importance of preparation in the field of oratory. Ultimately, the book argues that eloquence, though less common than in the past, is still essential in the modern political landscape and serves as a testament to the enduring power of the spoken word.
