Synopsis

This highly acclaimed book surveys major approaches to rhetorical criticism through significant essays that explain and illustrate them. From H. A. Wichelns’s groundbreaking “The Literary Criticism of Oratory” to very recent essays on visual argument, film studies, gender and race issues, and public memory, the essays in this volume reflect the historical development, diversity, and current practice of rhetorical criticism.



In this edition, important new selections from the literature and an updated organization reflect current issues, scholarship, critical perspectives, and classroom needs.



Collectively, the classic and contemporary essays in this book are among the most important and widely cited in the literature.
