Why has classical rhetoric been a subject of such growing interest
for the past ten years? Because the most exciting work in classical
rhetoric has asked us to rethink classical concepts in modern
terms. What's been missing, at least in book-length form, is a
scholarly rethinking of rhetorical memory and delivery. As many
scholars have been noting in their work for some time now, three of
five classical issues -- invention, arrangement, and style -- have
dominated rhetorical studies while the other two -- memory and
delivery -- have largely been misunderstood or ignored. Re-examined
in light of recent research on orality, literacy, and electronic
technology, rhetorical memory and delivery issues can become not
only central to the field but also key to the continued interest in
classical rhetoric.
Bringing together national scholars from a variety of related
disciplines in which rhetorical memory and delivery issues matter,
this collection is the only volume that examines classical and
contemporary interpretations of rhetorical memory and delivery in
depth and detail.
