Description

George Kennedy's comprehensive history of classical rhetoric provides a broad and engaging overview of the subject. This revised volume builds upon his earlier works to offer an authoritative treatment of classical rhetoric, tracing its development from early Greek literature to the Greco-Roman period. Kennedy explores the teaching of literary and oral composition in schools, as well as the primary genre of Greek and Latin oratory, and examines the intersection of ancient philosophy, religion, and rhetoric. The result is a concise yet detailed history that will prove useful for students and those seeking an overview of classical rhetoric. With its extensive revision and abridgment, this new volume promises to become a standard reference work in its field, offering a valuable resource for anyone interested in the subject.
