Trade Review
A comprehensive, concise, yet never simplistic overview of ancient rhetorical practice and theory....An exemplary introduction that gives a vivid and clear picture of the field. - Classical Review; ""Pernot offers many new interpretations of the history of rhetoric, adds nuance and discrimination to many previous understandings, and overturns or takes us past a series of understandings that prevailed earlier; in each case he does so on the basis of the most respectable and current scholarship."" - Lawrence D. Green, University of Southern California
