Synopsis

What makes great speech possible—and powerful is the subject of this classic exploration.

It shows how imagination, judgment, memory, and taste come together to shape eloquence that can influence minds and hearts. This edition draws on sermons, classical models, and careful argument to explain how genius works, how it can be cultivated, and how listeners respond to different styles. It blends philosophy with practical guidance for students, teachers, and any reader who wants to understand the craft behind strong, meaningful speaking.

• Explore the roles of memory and taste in preserving and shaping good speech.
• See how different eloquence styles—majestic, smooth, and direct—serve different audiences and purposes.
• Find guidance on training the ear, refining technique, and avoiding common pitfalls in rhetoric.

Ideal for readers of moral philosophy, rhetoric, and the history of ideas, this book offers timeless ideas about speech that still speaks to today’s audiences.
