A Grammar of Rhetoric, and Polite Literature (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a treatise on rhetoric, the art of speaking and writing effectively and persuasively. It is a classic work, first published in the 19th century. The author begins by explaining the nature and origins of language. He argues that language is not a natural phenomenon, but a human invention, created to facilitate communication. He then goes on to discuss the different parts of speech and their functions in language. The author also provides a detailed analysis of the various figures of speech, such as metaphor, simile, and personification. He concludes by offering advice on how to use rhetoric effectively in different situations. In the author's view, rhetoric should not be regarded as a mere tool for deception, but rather as a means of promoting understanding and persuasion. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
