This volume, the first of its kind, establishes and clarifies the
significance of Jewish rhetorics as its own field and as a field
within rhetoric studies. Diverse essays illuminate and complicate
the editors' definition of a Jewish rhetorical stance as allowing
speakers to maintain a "resolute sense of engagement" with their
fellows and their community, while also remaining aware of the
dislocation from the members of those communities. Topics include
the historical and theoretical foundations of Jewish rhetorics;
cultural variants and modes of cultural expression; and
intersections with Greco-Roman, Christian, Islamic, and
contemporary rhetorical theory and practice. In addition, the
contributors examine gender and Yiddish, and evaluate the actual
and potential effect of Jewish rhetorics on contemporary
scholarship and on the ways we understand and teach language and
writing. The contributors include some of the world's leading
scholars of rhetoric, writing, and Jewish studies.
