Description
Rhetoric has shaped our understanding of language and literature for over two millennia. This influential concept continues to inspire debate in contemporary culture. Jennifer Richards explores the practice and theory of rhetoric, examining its historical development, literary uses, and relevance in philosophy, politics, and culture. Richards delves into the classical traditions of rhetoric, as well as its rebirth in the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods. She also considers the current status and future of rhetoric in literary and critical theory, drawing on the work of key critics such as Kenneth Burke, Paul de Man, and Jacques Derrida. This insightful volume offers an accessible account of a contentious yet unavoidable term, making it invaluable reading for students of literature, philosophy, and cultural studies.
