Rhetoric and Rhythm in Byzantium takes a fresh look at rhetorical
rhythm and its theory and practice, highlighting the close affinity
between rhythm and argument. Based on material from Byzantine and
Old Church Slavonic homilies and from Byzantine rhetorical
commentaries, the book redefines and expands our understanding of
both Byzantine and Old Church Slavonic prose rhythm. It positions
rhetorical rhythm at the intersection of prose and poetry and
explores its role in argumentation and persuasion, suggesting that
rhetorical rhythm can carry across linguistic boundaries, and in
general aims to demonstrate the stylistic and argumentative
importance of rhythm in rhetorical practice. Along the way, it
challenges the entrenched separation between content and style and
emphasizes the role of rhythm as a tool of invention and a means of
creating shared emotional experience.
