The value of classical rhetoric for both English composition and speech courses has become increasingly clear in recent years. This volume is based on the premise that the system of Aristotle, Cicero, and Quintilian, which taught the student how to find something to say, how to select andorganize material, and how to phrase it in the best possible manner, is still useful and effective--more detailed in coverage and more positive in approach than any of the courses of study that replaced it. Now in its Third Edition, this highly successful textbook continues to present a coherentand realistic approach to the teaching of writing by adapting the principles of classical rhetoric and by using precepts, imitation, and constant practice as its core. The work stresses argumentative discourse, but most of its principles apply equally well to exposition, description, and narration. The new third edition of this classic text has been completely brought up to date, using inclusive language throughout and giving greater representation to women writers; offering shorter, timelier selections; and providing a useful phonetic guide to tropes and figures derived from Greek and Latinwords. Classical Rhetoric for the Modern Student will be an invaluable resource for courses in composition, speech, rhetoric, and linguistics. (view table of contents)
