Contemporary Rhetorical Theory: A Reader

Rating:
Summary: Surveys the most important literature
Review: Any compilation that purports to cover something as broad as "contemporary rhetorical theory" is bound to miss the mark on an essay or two, but this anthology scores a double-bullseye. The three authors, all respected theorists in their own right, have assembled the key essays around which rhetorical scholarship revolves today.

The book is organized in topical sections. Each section of the opens with introductory remarks that help students frame the topic at hand.

This is an excellent book for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses.
