This standard classic text for the study of rhetoric continues to prove its worth for writing teachers. If interested in a variety of texts, any writing students can glean valuable examples of schemes and tropes to include in their arsenal of word craft. Corbett relies upon ancient, medieval, and a few modern excerpts to illustrate the many approaches for literary effect. Earlier additions still have benefit despite the under-representation of female authors and outmoded research tools. Personally I enjoyed reading how Erasmus taught his pupils how to restate the same idea thirty times to exhibit the possibilities of communication for a single thought. Analysis of famous 20th century political speeches can be found in addition to ancient Greek and Roman sources. It is a great reference to keep instead of returning it hastily to a book seller after completing the college course. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Widely used in advanced composition and writing courses, Classical Rhetoric for the Modern Student discusses the three vital components of classical rhetoric--argument, arrangement, and style--bringing these elements to life and demonstrating their effective use in yesterday's and today'swriting. Presenting its subject in five parts, the text provides grounding in the elements and applications of classical rhetoric; the strategies and tactics of argumentation; the effective presentation and organization of discourses; the development of power, grace, and felicity in expression; andthe history of rhetorical principles. Numerous examples of classic and contemporary rhetoric, from paragraphs to complete essays, appear throughout the book, many followed by detailed analyses. The fourth edition of Classical Rhetoric for the Modern Student features a new section on the Progymnasmata (classical composition exercises), a new analysis of a color advertisement in the Introduction, an updated survey of the history of rhetoric, and an updated section on "External Aids toInvention."
