Rhetoric in the European Tradition

Rhetoric in the European Traditionprovides a comprehensive, chronological survey of the basic models of rhetoric as they developed from the early Greeks through the twentieth century.

Conley chooses carefully from a vast pool of rhetorical literature to give voice to those authors who exercised the greatest influence in their own and succeeding generations. This book is valuable as both an introduction for students and a reference and resource for scholars in fields including literature, cultural history, philosophy, and speech and communication studies.Conley, Thomas M. is the author of 'Rhetoric in the European Tradition', published 1994 under ISBN 9780226114897 and ISBN 0226114899.
