About this Item

Print on Demand. This book explores the vital bond between literature and elocution, examining how they serve as modes of thought expression, one in written form and the other in vocal form. The author delves into the history of both disciplines, demonstrating how the same rules of excellence apply to each, and argues that elocutionists should not only pay attention to vocal production but also to the work's meaning. The author suggests that elocutionists strive to not only deliver the words of a piece but to interpret the author's meaning and emotion, making elocution the audible expression of literature and thought. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the relationship between literature and elocution and offers insights on delivering a speech or engaging with literature more fully. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
