The new edition of this highly acclaimed book, like the previous editions, surveys major approaches to rhetorical criticism through significant essays that explain and illustrate them. In this edition, several significant new essays from the literature and an updated organization reflect current issues, scholarship, critical practices, and classroom needs. From H. A.

Collectively, the forty classic and contemporary essays in this book are among the most important and widely cited in the literature.
