Description

In Defence of Rhetoric (Clarendon Paperbacks) by Oxford University Press offers a spirited effort to restore the importance of rhetoric in modern thought. This book examines the early development of rhetoric during the classical era, its major triumph during the Renaissance, and its subsequent decline in prestige. The author asserts that rhetoric remains an indispensable vehicle for style and thought. The text explores its application in the works of influential writers such as Joyce, Orwell, and Jarrell. Finally, the book surveys how rhetoric has been fragmented and misapplied within current critical theories from thinkers like Jakobson and de Man. This work is essential for those studying the history and criticism of poetry, drama, and literary theory.
