Offers students an advanced approach to public speaking through a comprehensive discussion of rhetorical theory
This text begins by addressing Aristotle’s “Five Canons of the Art”–a means of covering the basics through the lens of rhetorical theory– and progresses into a sophisticated outline of understanding, constructing and delivering artful rhetoric. The book incorporates scholarship on mediated communication, pragmatic speaking genres, the rhetorical situation, and aesthetic form. Rhetorical Public Speaking aims to encourage students to be engaged citizens of society.
