In the Middle Ages, liturgies, books, song, architecture and poetry
were performed as collaborative activities in which performers and
audience together realized their work anew. In this book, essays by
leading scholars analyse how the medieval arts invited and
delighted in collaborative performances designed to persuade. The
essays cast fresh light on subjects ranging from pilgrim
processions within Chartres Cathedral, to polyphonic song, and the
'rhetoric of silence' perfected by the Cistercians. Rhetoric is
defined broadly in this book to encompass its relationship to its
sister arts of music, architecture, and painting, all of which use
materials and media in addition to words, sometimes altogether
without words. Contributors have concentrated on those aspects of
formal rhetoric that are performative in nature, the sound, gesture
and facial expressions of persuasive speech in action. Delivery
(performance) is shown to be at the heart of rhetoric, that aspect
of it which is indeed beyond words.
