Synopsis
Direct, comprehensive, well organized, simple in statement, Elements of Rhetoric is in all respects well fitted to fulfill its assigned role as a textbook. The remarks on practical problems and the examples and analogies confirm contemporary reports that Whately was himself a talented and stimulating teacher.
The modern field of speech was born near the beginning of the twentieth century, some seventy years after Whately wrote. But influential leaders in the new field endorsed Whately's judgments, and courses and textbooks in public address have remained strongly influenced by his ideas. Whately's views on a number of major questions in rhetoric have proved sound and fruitful during many decades of practice, and his book remains one of the most influential works on the subject.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Présentation de l'éditeur
Work was sketched out several years ago for the private use of some young friends; and from that MS. chiefly, the Article Rhetoric in the Encyclopaedia Metropolitana was afterwards drawn up. I was induced to believe that it might be more useful if published in a separate form ;and I accordingly, with the assistance of some friends, revised the treatise, and made a few additions and other alterations which suggested themselves ;besides dividing it in a manner more convenient for reference. The title of Rhetoric, I thought it best on the whole to retain, being that by which the Article in the Encyclopaedia is designated ;as I was unwi Uing to lay myself open to the suspicion of wishing to pass off as new, on the strength of a new name, what had been already before the Public. But the title is in some respects open to objection.
