Pub Year 1999, See images for condition. About the book >.>.> Classical Rhetoric for the Modern Student, authored by Edward P J Corbett and Robert J Connors, is a comprehensive exploration of the principles and practices of rhetoric, the art of using discourse to inform, persuade, or motivate audiences. The book delves into both spoken and written forms of discourse, emphasising that rhetoric extends beyond mere informal communication such as small talk, jokes, and simple directives. It centres on formal, intentional, and extended monologues aimed at influencing audiences effectively.The text investigates the foundational concepts of rhetoric as articulated by classical theorists. It discusses how rhetoric interacts with various modes of discourse, highlighting that while traditional definitions often emphasise persuasion, the scope includes expository forms that aim to foster acceptance of information. Aristotle's definition of rhetoric as a means to discover available persuasive strategies is critically examined, revealing an understanding that encompasses both argumentative and expository dimensions of discourse.Classical Rhetoric for the Modern Student offers readers a robust framework for understanding how different rhetorical strategies can be employed in diverse contexts. By engaging with the dynamics of rhetoric, the book equips students with the tools necessary for effective communication, addressing how to adjust ideas to people and people to ideas. Through this examination, it not only serves as an academic resource but also as a guide for practical application in everyday interactions and formal discourse.
