Item description from seller

277 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Good and clean. - Gut und sauber. - Greek rhetoric, in its diverse forms and impact on its contemporary context, is central to an understanding of ancient culture. The influence and exploitation of rhetoric in ancient times and modern reactions to it are the focus of this book. In recent years there has been a renaissance in the study of Greek rhetoric and oratory, informed by modern political sociology and discourse analysis. This book, bringing together the work of leading scholars in the field, examines the relation of ancient oratory and rhetoric to a variety of historical contexts and literary genres at both the theoretical and practical levels, at the same time reflecting new trends and ideas now at work. From the content: From orality to rhetoric: an intellectual transformation, Carol G. Thomas and Edward Kent Webb; Rhetorical means of persuasion, Christopher Carey; Probability and persuasion: Plato and early Greek rhetoric, Michael Gagarin; Classical rhetoric and modern theories of discourse, David Cohen; Power and oratory in democratic Athens: Demosthenes 21, against Meidias, Josiah Ober; History and oratorical exploitation, lan Worthington; Law and oratory, Edward M. Harris; Epic and rhetoric, Peter Toohey; Tragedy and rhetoric, Victor Bers; Comedy and rhetoric, Phillip Harding; Philosophy and rhetoric, Stephen Halliwell; The Canon of the Ten Attic Orators, Ian Worthington; ISBN 9780415081399 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 396.…
