About this title

Synopsis

Eighteen essays by leading scholars in English, speech communication, educa�tion, and philosophy explore the vitality of the classical rhetorical tradition and its influence on both contemporary dis�course studies and the teaching of writing.

Some of the essays investigate the�oretical and historical issues. Others show the bearing of classical rhetoric on contemporary problems in composition, thus blending theory and practice. Com�mon to the varied approaches and view�points expressed in this volume is one central theme: the 20th-century revival of rhetoric entails a recovery of the clas�sical tradition, with its marriage of a rich and fully articulated theory with an equally efficacious practice. A preface demonstrates the contribution of Ed�ward P. J.Corbett to the 20th-century re�vival, and a last chapter includes a bibli�ography of his works.
