Rhetoric beyond Words: Delight and Persuasion in the Arts of the Middle Ages - Cambridge Studies in Medieval Literature
Mary Carruthers
In this book, eleven essays by leading scholars of music, liturgy, literature, manuscript production and architecture analyse how the medieval arts invited collaborative performances designed to persuade. Using concepts derived from rhetoric to analyse specific examples, the essays show the immense power of those forms of rhetoric which are 'beyond words'.
