This volume's purpose is to provide students and scholars of
classical rhetoric with a set of exemplary works in the area of
Greek rhetorical theory. Many of the articles included here are not
easily accessible and have been selected with the intent of
providing graduate and undergraduate students with a useful
collection of secondary source materials. This book is also
envisioned as a useful text for scholars who will benefit from
having these sources more readily available. Scholarship in
classical Greek rhetorical theory typically is aimed at one of
these two goals: * Historical reconstruction is work that attempts
to understand the contributions of past theorists or practitioners.
Scholars involved in the historical reconstruction of Greek
rhetorical theories attempt to understand the cultural context in
which these theories originally appear. * Contemporary
appropriation is work that attempts to utilize the insights of past
theorists or practitioners in order to inform current theory or
criticism. Rather than describe rhetorical theory as it evolved
through the contingencies of the past, scholars who attempt the
contemporary appropriation of classical texts do so in order to
shed insight on rhetorical concerns as they are manifested in
today's environment. As can be seen in the following articles,
historical reconstruction and contemporary appropriation differ in
terms of goals and methods. Because the goal of historical
reconstruction is to capture the past -- insofar as possible -- on
its own terms, the methods of the historian and, in classical work,
the philologist, are appropriate. As a result, many of the papers
draw heavily on the original Greek terminology to describe a given
theorist's contributions. All Greek words have been transliterated
in this edition in order to improve readability. In addition, the
meanings of Greek words which are not explicitly discussed include
a bracketed translation to make the text more accessible for
non-Greek reading audiences.
