Study of the rhetorical codes and conventions in terms of which debates were conducted is currently a major area of historical and literary enquiry, and Peter Mack’s Elizabethan Rhetoric provides a wealth of new information about what was taught and how these conventions were exploited in a range of Elizabethan prose texts, personal memoranda, court depositions, sermons and political and religious pamphlets.
