The need for a new critical edition of Philip Melanchthon's philosophical works is particularly clear in the case of his writings on rhetoric. That Melanchthon played a central role in the transformation of the ancient discipline has been well established by historians. His writings on rhetoric have proven significant sources for several academic fields, including church history, Scriptural interpretation, the history of science, and the reception of classical literature. Remarkably, two of the three principal writings have not been published in their entirety since the sixteenth century. This volume collects critical editions of the three principal writings to provide a more complete record of Melanchthon's teaching of rhetoric. It includes critical editions of De Rhetorica (1519), Institutiones Rhetoricae (1521), and Elementa Rhetorices (1531). In addition to the three principal writings, this volume collects a new edition, based on a 1911 edition by Hanns Zwicker, of Dispositiones Rhetoricae (c. 1553), a manuscript compilation of 161 model themes. Scholars will find in this volume the major sources for Melanchthon's theory and practice of rhetorical instruction.

This book arises from a symposium held in Oxford to consider the most fruitful trajectories of rhetoric in the 21st century. The gathering comprised an international delegation of leading scholars convened to assess-from an array of perspectives - the various possible futures of the ancient discipline of rhetoric as it responds vitally to the evolving contexts of the new millennium. This collection commemorates that event by extending its scrutiny into a number of specific fields of inquiry. It includes a foreword by Prof James J. Murphy, an introductory article by the editors, and six further

Se a história é a história das condições do poder, então a história é a história dos usos e abusos da retórica que sustenta o poder. A luta política talvez seja exclusivamente retórica e com isso a força seria apenas um complemento posterior, pois toda demonstração de força valeria apenas por seu efeito retórico de aumento, manutenção ou perda de poder". Ao formular nesses termos o problema da ordem (e da desordem) social, Ricardo Monteagudo nos faz entender que o tema da linguagem é, de fato, um lugar privilegiado para discutirmos a simbiose entre retórica e política na obra de J.-J. Rousseau. Tendo como pano de fundo um quadro histórico da retórica, dos autores da Antiguidade até Perelman e Todorov, a tese deste livro pode ser assim enunciada: no âmbito dos escritos políticos do filósofo genebrino, em particular no Discurso sobre a origem da desigualdade e no Contrato social, as condições de possibilidade das relações civis são estabelecidas, tanto para o bem quanto para o mal, pelo uso retórico da linguagem. Longe de se limitar a uma mera exegese acadêmica de textos datados, este trabalho se apresenta a nós, leitores do século XXI, como prova cabal de que certas investigações de Rousseau acerca do discurso político permanecem atualíssimas. Monteagudo se inscreve dessa maneira numa linhagem bibliográfica que, no Brasil, remonta às análises memoráveis de Bento Prado Jr. e Luiz Roberto Salinas Fortes sobre o assunto.

In this first sustained critique of current-traditional rhetorical theory, Sharon Crowley uses a postmodern, deconstructive reading to reexamine the historical development of current-traditional rhetoric. She identifies it (as well as the British new rhetoric from which it developed) as a philosophy of language use that posits universal principles of mind and discourse. Crowley argues that these philosophies are not appropriate bases for the construction of rhetorical theories, much less guides for the teaching of composition.

Trust in Texts: A Different History of Rhetoric challenges the accepted idea of a singular rhetorical tradition poorly maintained from the Athenian Golden Age until the present. Author Susan Miller argues that oratorical rhetoric is but one among many codes that guide the production of texts and proposes that emotion and trust are central to the motives and effects of rhetoric.This groundbreaking volume makes a case for historical rhetoric as disbursed, formal and informal lessons in persuasion that are codified as crafts that mediate between what is known and unknow
