Ancient Rhetoric and Oratory Bewertungen

Marrying 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. Joy Connolly, New York University


More than a compact history of ancient rhetoric, Habinek's Ancient Rhetoric and Oratory is a revelatory analysis of its social functions and an energetic defense of its democratic potential. Steve Johnstone, University of Arizona

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
