The publication history reveals how a distinctive British canon emerged from selected works by Plato, Isocrates, Demosthenes, Aristotle, Theophrastus, Cicero, Seneca, Quintilian, Tacitus and Longinus. Works by these ten authors, especially Cicero and Longinus, were widely disseminated, becoming key texts in the formation of British rhetorical culture. At the core of the volume, annotated selections offer the twenty-first century reader a sampling of these classical rhetorical works in translation. The glossary of rhetorical criticism elucidates the now archaic meanings of words that enabled citizens to communicate their moral and rhetorical taste.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  List of Figures and Tables  Part 1 Critical Introductions    General Introduction   1 Prior Scholarship   2 Methods   3 The Character of Rhetorical Culture 1650–1800   4 Order of Sections    Rhetorical Works by Classical Authors   1 Plato   2 Isocrates   3 Demosthenes   4 Aristotle   5 Theophrastus   6 Cicero   7 Seneca the Younger   8 Quintilian   9 Tacitus   10 Longinus    Part 2 Annotated Selections    Selections from Plato    Selections from Isocrates    Selections from Demosthenes    Selections from Aristotle    Selections from Theophrastus    Selections from Cicero    Selections from Seneca    Selections from Quintilian    Selections from Tacitus    Selections from Longinus    Part 3 Glossary    Bibliography of Primary Sources  Bibliography of Secondary Sources  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210809893207,"sku":"9789004442283","price":161.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/classical-rhetoric-in-english-1650-1800-a-critical-anthology-9789004442283","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
