From antiquity until the twentieth century, rhetorical training was
exclusively concerned with forming male speakers as well as
producing an explicitly masculine speaking style and method. This
study focuses on such body and gender-specific training by
analyzing the actio doctrine. The book also demonstrates how the
transformation of rhetoric in the eighteenth century was
accompanied for the first time by a discursive shift: gesture,
imitation, voice, and dress guidelines were adapted for use with
both genders in general education and to teach the art of
conversation."
