Synopsis

A fascinating and comprehensive exploration of the art of gesture in rhetoric, this book analyzes the subject from ancient origins to modern interpretations. Delving into the rhetorical theories of figures such as Cicero and Quintilian, the book provides a unique perspective on the historical development of this form of non-verbal communication. Exploring the many ways in which gestures can enhance speech, the author presents a system of notation for capturing and describing gestures, allowing readers to not only understand but also replicate their power and precision. With its in-depth analysis and practical applications, this book is an invaluable resource for orators, actors, and anyone seeking to master the art of eloquent physical expression.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
