Ancient Rhetoric and Oratory\n\nThomas Habinek (Author)\n\n9780631235149, Wiley\n\nHardback, published 29 September 2004\n\n148 pages\n23.6 x 15.8 x 1.6 cm, 0.336 kg\n\n\u201CMarrying originality and theoretical broadmindedness with the virtues of a learned survey, Habinek brings the reader face to face with the aesthetic, political, and philosophical vitality of ancient rhetoric and oratory.\u201D Joy Connolly, New York University\n\n\u201CMore than a compact history of ancient rhetoric, Habinek\u2019s Ancient Rhetoric and Oratory is a revelatory analysis of its social functions and an energetic defense of its democratic potential.\u201D Steve Johnstone, University of Arizona\n\""Habinek's experience and mature scholarship are manifest in the production of this work. It is fairly comprehensive, but even in areas in which it chooses to be selective, the choice is judicious... I would recommend this book to senior undergraduates and graduate students of history of rhetoric.\"" Scholia\n]
