Featuring a balance of practical advice and sound instruction,
Speechwriting: A Rhetorical Guide provides readers with essential
knowledge to prepare and deliver well-constructed and
well-researched speeches appropriate for a variety of contexts. The
first part of the book discusses traditional rhetorical theory in a
way that is direct and easy for students to understand. The
chapters cover such topics as audience and the rhetorical canons of
invention, elocution or style, disposition or organization,
delivery, and memory. Chapters in the second part then apply the
rhetorical principles to four different types of speeches:
inaugural addresses, commencement addresses, a variety of
persuasive speeches, and a number of ceremonial ones. The text
includes excerpts from actual speeches, illustrative speechwriting
samples with commentary from a prospective speech writer, and a set
of exercises that encourage readers to think about how the sample
speech might be improved upon or modified if they were the one
writing it. Speechwriting connects rhetorical theory to modern
situations and settings to emphasize real-world application. The
text is an exemplary resource for courses in speech and writing as
found in departments of communication studies, English and
composition, political science, education, and any other discipline
in which people are frequently asked to speak or address an
audience.
