From the Back Cover
A comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the analysis of public rhetoric, Modern Rhetorical Criticism teaches readers how to examine and interpret rhetorical situations, ideas, arguments, structure, and style. The text covers a wide range of critical techniques, from cultural and dramatistic analysis to feminist and Marxist approaches. A wealth of original criticism demonstrates how to analyze such diverse forms as junk mail, congressional debates, and traffic regulations, as well as literature. This long-awaited revision contains new coverage of mass media, feminist criticism, and European criticism.
New to This Edition
- Both the language of the text and the examples have been rewritten to make the text more engaging and accessible to undergraduate students.
- “Tips for the Practicing Critic” offer advice for students to help them craft their own critiques.
- An increased emphasis on feminism and cultural criticism, with more examples featuring women and diverse groups.
- More “Critical Probes” have been added and have been redesigned to make them a more effective pedagogical tool.
- Chapter 9, “Analyzing Media,” now includes coverage of the rhetoric of the Internet.
