Aristotle uses a lecture, Horace a letter, Sidney a mock oration. Laurie Maguire and the contributors to this book engage in a genial conversation that invites students in. Like all good conversations, this one admits first-person candor, keeps things lively by changing the subject five times, welcomes disagreements, and waits for what the reader-listener is going to do in response.\u003cbr\u003e BRUCE SMITH, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Maguire … does not seek to force the essays into convenient (and conventional) critical boxes.
