Reader reviews for Encyclopedia of Rhetoric and Composition: Communication from Ancient Times to the Information Age

From the publisher

Modern rhetoric is a vital tool Rhetoric, the strategic presentation of ideas and choice of language, informs all writing, speaking, thinking, and learning. It provides the guiding principles and practical framework for effective written and spoken communication. Modern rhetoric can help fight the current literacy crisis in our schools--it is a vital tool for teaching students to write logically and persuasively. Alphabetically arranged This alphabetically-arranged reference guide surveys the field, covering rhetoric's principles, concepts, applications, practical tools, and major thinkers. Rhetoric is increasingly studied in the context of other disciplines, such as anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, psychology, and pedagogy, because its well-established rules and time-honored methods are useful for developing modern communications and writing skills. Draws on expertise of 288 contributors Drawing on the scholarship and expertise of 288 contributors, the Encyclopedia presents a long-needed overview of rhetoric and its role in contemporary education and communications, discusses rhetoric's contributions to various fields, surveys the applications of this versatile discipline to the teaching of English and language arts, and illustrates its usefulness in all kinds of discourse, argument, and exchange of ideas. The coverage has been tailored to meet the needs of American teachers and students. Each entry followed by a bibliography Following each entry is a bibliography of key texts and recommended reading. Cross-references, a comprehensive index, and a list of entries and contributors make this unique reference work easy to use. The Encyclopedia's 467 entries take four forms: brief identification of figure, term, or concept (Hugh Blair, commonplaces, kairos) * elaborate notes (exposition, hermeneutics, Nietzsche) * essays that explore a subject in depth (Aristotle, ethos, feminist rhetoric) * extended articles that illuminate rhetoric's art and methodology (argument, composition studies, invention) Distinguished Advisory Board: Carroll C.
