Since its original publication by UNC Press in 1980, this book has
provided thousands of students with a concise introduction and
guide to the history of the classical tradition in rhetoric, the
ancient but ever vital art of persuasion. Now, George Kennedy
offers a thoroughly revised and updated edition of Classical
Rhetoric and Its Christian and Secular Tradition . From its
development in ancient Greece and Rome, through its continuation
and adaptation in Europe and America through the Middle Ages and
Renaissance, to its enduring significance in the twentieth century,
he traces the theory and practice of classical rhetoric through
history. At each stage of the way, he demonstrates how new
societies modified classical rhetoric to fit their needs. For this
edition, Kennedy has updated the text and the bibliography to
incorporate new scholarship; added sections relating to women
orators and rhetoricians throughout history; and enlarged the
discussion of rhetoric in America, Germany, and Spain. He has also
included more information about historical and intellectual
contexts to assist the reader in understanding the tradition of
classical rhetoric. |A revised and updated edition of the popular
and widely used guide to the classical tradition of rhetoric from
its development in ancient Greece and Rome to the 20th-century.
