Recent archaeological discoveries, coupled with long-lost but now
available epigraphical evidence, and a more expansive view of
literary sources, provide new and dramatic evidence of the
emergence of rhetoric in ancient Greece. Many of these artifacts,
gathered through onsite fieldwork in Greece, are analyzed in this
revised and expanded edition of GREEK RHETORIC BEFORE ARISTOTLE.
This new evidence, along with recent developments in research
methods and analysis, reveal clearly that long before Aristotle's
Rhetoric, long before rhetoric was even stabilized into formal
systems of study in Classical Athens, nascent, pre-disciplinary
"rhetorics" were emerging throughout Greece. These newly acquired
resources and research procedures demonstrate that oral and
literate rhetoric emerged not only because of intellectual
developments and the refinement of technologies that facilitated
communication but also because of social, political and cultural
forces that nurtured rhetoric's growth and popularity throughout
the Hellenic world. GREEK RHETORIC BEFORE ARISTOTLE offers insights
into the mentalities forming and driving expression, revealing, in
turn, a great deal more about the relationship of thought and
expression in Antiquity. A more expansive understanding of these
pre-disciplinary manifestations of rhetoric, in all of their varied
forms, enriches the history and the nature of classical rhetoric as
a formalized discipline. - RICHARD LEO ENOS is Professor and holder
of the Lillian Radford Chair of Rhetoric and Composition at Texas
Christian University. His research concentration is in classical
rhetoric with an emphasis in the relationship between oral and
written discourse. He is past president of the American Society for
the History of Rhetoric (1980-1981) and the Rhetoric Society of
America (1990-1991). He received the RSA George E. Yoos Award
Distinguished Service and was inducted as an RSA Fellow in 2006. He
is the founding editor of ADVANCES IN THE HISTORY OF RHETORIC and
the editor (with David E. Beard) of ADVANCES IN THE HISTORY OF
RHETORIC: THE FIRST SIX YEARS (2007, Parlor Press). He is also the
author of ROMAN RHETORIC: REVOLUTION AND THE GREEK INFLUENCE,
Revised and Expanded Edition (2008, Parlor Press). - LAUER SERIES
