Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of essays centering around a common theme: reading and speaking. The author, a renowned scholar in the field of elocution, lived from 1753 and published this book in 1797. That timeframe is significant because it's when the United States was founded and sought to establish its own unique and distinct identity. The author largely concentrates on how an individual's style of speaking is influenced by the ideas of the broader society in which they live. Within this main theme, the author covers a wide range of secondary ideas including proper articulation, pronunciation, and diction. These nuances were especially important at the time of publication due to the fact that a standard American accent and style of speech had yet to solidify. The ideas in this book helped shape the way that future generations of Americans would communicate with each other. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780243898756_0
