ANCIENT NON-GREEK RHETORICS contributes to the recovery and
understanding of ancient rhetorics in non-Western cultures and
other cultures that developed independently of classical
Greco-Roman models. Contributors analyze facets of the rhetorics as
embedded within the particular cultures of ancient China, Egypt,
Mesopotamia, the ancient Near East more generally, Israel, Japan,
India, and ancient Ireland. The ten essays examine rhetorics as
broadly construed, analyzing texts, addressing silence, as well as
considering the placement and use of texts as part of multimedia
cultural communication, involving ritual along with oral, visual,
sensual, experiential, and architectural elements and performances.
