Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Extempore Speech: How to Acquire and Practice It is a practical nineteenth-century manual on the art of speaking without a fully written text. Pittenger distinguishes extempore address from mere improvisation, treating it as disciplined preparation joined to freedom of expression. With lucid, didactic prose, he discusses invention, arrangement, memory, voice, gesture, and the moral responsibilities of persuasion. The book belongs to the classical rhetorical tradition while addressing the democratic lecture halls, pulpits, classrooms, and civic platforms of modern America. William Pittenger was unusually equipped to write such a guide. A Union soldier famed for his participation in the Andrews Raid during the Civil War, and later a clergyman, lecturer, educator, and author, he knew both the urgency of public testimony and the demands of sustained intellectual preparation. His life joined action, moral conviction, and public communication, giving his advice a practical authority beyond abstract theory. This book is recommended to readers interested in rhetoric, preaching, teaching, advocacy, or the history of public speaking. Though some conventions reflect its age, its central insight remains valuable: effective spontaneity is earned through knowledge, order, practice, and sincerity. N° de réf. du vendeur 9788028341022
