A Companion to Rhetoric and Rhetorical Criticism (Blackwell Companions to Literature and Culture) Edited by Wendy Olmsted and Walter Jost
Book Description A Companion to Rhetoric and Rhetorical
Criticism offers the first major survey in two decades of the field of
rhetorical studies and of the practice of rhetorical theory and
criticism across a range of disciplines. The contributions are written
by leading scholars from a variety of different fields and have all
been specially commissioned for this volume. They focus on specific
works, problems, or figures, pursuing theory and criticism from an
engaged and practical perspective. The volume also includes an overview
of rhetorical traditions, providing examples of rhetoric from ancient
times to the present day. Designed to be accessible to a range of
students and scholars, A Companion to Rhetoric and Rhetorical Criticism
elaborates in fascinating ways just what it means to "think like a
rhetorician." (Amazon.com).
