For more than two thousand years. Aristotle's "Art of Rhetoric" has
shaped thought on the theory and practice of rhetoric, the art of
persuasive speech. In three sections, Aristotle discusses what
rhetoric is, as well as the three kinds of rhetoric (deliberative,
judicial, and epideictic), the three rhetorical modes of
persuasion, and the diction, style, and necessary parts of a
successful speech. Throughout, Aristotle defends rhetoric as an art
and a crucial tool for deliberative politics while also recognizing
its capacity to be misused by unscrupulous politicians to mislead
or illegitimately persuade others. Here Robert C. Bartlett offers a
literal, yet easily readable, new translation of Aristotle's "Art
of Rhetoric," one that takes into account important alternatives in
the manuscript and is fully annotated to explain historical,
literary, and other allusions. Bartlett's translation is also
accompanied by an outline of the argument of each book; copious
indexes, including subjects, proper names, and literary citations;
a glossary of key terms; and a substantial interpretive essay.
