This new volume, an extensive revision and abridgment of \u003cem\u003eThe Art of Persuasion in Greece\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Art of Rhetoric in the Roman World\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eGreek Rhetoric under Christian Emperors\u003c\/em\u003e, provides a comprehensive history of classical rhetoric that is sure to become a standard for its time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKennedy begins by identifying the rhetorical features of early Greek literature that anticipated the formulation of \"metarhetoric,\" or a theory of rhetoric, in the fifth and fourth centuries B.C.E. He then traces the development of that theory through the Greco-Roman period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe gives an account of the teaching of literary and oral composition in schools and of Greek and Latin oratory as the primary rhetorical genre. He also discusses the overlapping disciplines of ancient philosophy and religion and their interaction with rhetoric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a broad and engaging history of classical rhetoric that will prove especially useful for students and for others who want an overview of classical rhetoric in condensed form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595677122796,"sku":"9780691000596","price":129.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780691000596-a-new-history-of-classical-rhetoric.jpg?v=1777900933"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/george-a-kennedy.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
