The Practical Elements of Rhetoric: With Illustrative Examples

Description: This text on rhetoric is designed as a practical companion for a first-time rhetoric course. The author’s view of the field is that rhetoric is the art of adapting discourse to human readers or listeners, thereby dividing the book into three broad types of literature: didactic prose, poetry, and oratory. The book is focused on the nuts-and-bolts of both style—with chapters on using words, using figures of speech, and composition—and invention—with an emphasis on the mental habits necessary for effective rhetorical invention. This book makes an ideal entry point for anyone seeking to learn the ins and outs of rhetoric and its place in literary study.
