Rhetoric and Poetics in Antiquity
Walker, Jeffrey (Associate Professor of English, Associate Professor of English, Penn State University)
This title offers a counter-traditional account of the history of both rhetoric and poetics. In reply to traditional rhetorical histories, which view "rhetoric" as an art of practical civic oratory, the book argues in four extended essays that epideictic-poetic eloquence was central, even fundamental, to the rhetorical tradition in antiquity.
