Educational reforms around the year 1800 also had their effects on
the subject that went by the name of 'Rhetoric'. They did not
however spell the end of rhetoric itself. On the contrary, the
political and social circles active around 1800 and the frequently
unduly roseate aura surrounding political oratory in revolutionary
France and the art of public speaking in the British parliament led
to a quickening of public debate on the potential for good and evil
bound up with political eloquence. The study traces this debate in
detail and pays equal attention to the practice and the arenas of
public discourse in Germany: the pulpit, the lectern and the
theatre.
