Friedenberg brings to this study of Theodore Roosevelt a thorough
grounding in the criticism of American public address. Basing his
findings on his own detailed reading of Roosevelt's speeches and
supplementing it with his own research in the primary collections
of Roosevelt's manuscripts, Robert V. Friedenberg reveals the depth
of Roosevelt's fascinating rhetorical career. Friedenberg's astute
analysis of Roosevelt's use of classic rhetorical method shows how
dependent the president was on the style of the classical masters
as well as American predecessors such as Washington and Lincoln.
This book demonstrates and analyzes the persuasive and expressive
public speaking of the first great orator of this century, Theodore
Roosevelt. Following a foreword by Halford R. Ryan and a preface by
Friedenberg, the book provides critical analysis of Roosevelt's
rhetoric of militant decency. After an overview, Friedenberg
applies his analysis, which is followed by the application of
militant decency rhetoric to foreign policy, responsible
citizenship, and progressive reform. A series of Roosevelt's
collected speeches forms the second part of the volume and provides
concrete examples of Roosevelt's rhetorical style. A speech
chronology and a bibliography close the work. As we Americans look
to the twenty-first century, we might do well to look for guidance
and inspiration in the writings and speeches of the man who led us
into the twentieth century, Theodore Roosevelt.
