Présentation de l'éditeur
The Greeks were the first, so far as we know, to employ antithesis extensively; first to analyze it, and formulate the principles of its usage. A ny scientific treatment of the figure must accordingly begin with them. The field of Attic eloquence has been chosen as being the most suitable for the study of the subject. And there is no better standard than antithesis for a comparative study of the rhetorical style of the several orators. The investigation led to a survey of the use of the figure in antecedent Greek literature, and to the expositions of the phenomenon by the Greek Rhetoricians. An appendix, giving a brief sketch of antithesis in the Bible and in English Literature, was not thought out of place in view of the fact that so little attention has been given by scholars to this feature of expression in our own language. The theme of investigation was suggested by Professor Paul Shorey, whom I wish to thank for the benefit of his supervision and criticism. I am also indebted to Professor R. J. Bonner for the removal of not a few errors and for valuable suggestions. John Emory Hollingsworth. Chicago,
