A Plea for Spoken Language (Classic Reprint): An Essay Upon Comparative Elocution, Condensed From Lectures Delivered Throughout the United States - Softcover
Synopsis
This book explores the history of elocution, the art of expressive speech, from its roots in the works of early English writers to its development in the 19th century. The author traces how scholars and writers like Charles Butler, John Walker, and Sir Joshua Steele made groundbreaking discoveries in identifying the vocal variations of speech. These discoveries led to the creation of a notation system, enabling the description and teaching of vocal techniques. The book argues that while the field has been largely defined by the "inflective system" championed by Walker and others, a more complete understanding of elocution requires a deeper analysis of the mechanics of the voice and a broader exploration of its expressive possibilities. This insightful and comprehensive work sheds light on both the historical evolution and the enduring principles of elocution, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to master the art of spoken language.
