"This book explores the history of rhetorical thought and examines the gradual association of different aspects of rhetorical theory with two outstanding fourth-century BCE writers: Lysias and Isocrates. It highlights the parallel development of the rhetorical tradition that became understood, on the one hand, as a domain of style and persuasive speech, associated with the figure of Lysias, and, on the other, as a kind of philosophical enterprise which makes significant demands on moral and political education in antiquity, epitomized in the work of Isocrates. There are two pivotal moments in which the two rhetoricians were pitted against each other as representatives of different modes of cultural discourse: Athens in the fourth century BCE, as memorably portrayed in Plato's Phaedrus, and Rome in the first century BCE when Dionysius of Halicarnassus proposes to create from the united Lysianic and Isocratean rhetoric the foundation for the ancient rhetorical tradition"-- Provided by publisher.

"His volume brings together six papers relating to oratory and orators in public fora of Classical Greece and Rome. Edwards and Bers explore aspects of oratorical delivery in the Athenian courts and Assembly, including the demands placed on orators by the physical settings. Tempest examines the conceptions of oratorical competence and incompetence, particularly in respect of performance, as they are implied in Cicero's criticisms of the rival prosecutor in the trial of Verres. Papers by Karambelas and Powell look at evidence for the importance of advocacy in the Second Sophistic and the late Roman Empire respectively. In an introduction, the editors discuss recurrent themes connected with the orator's competence and performance, while the final paper of the volume, by Lord Justice Laws, reflects on the continuing relevance of rhetoric in the modern, highly professionalised practice of the law in England.".

Sofi Oksanen is the most visible and widely discussed Finnish author of the 21st century, yet her novels have gained less attention than her public performances. This study shifts the focus from the author's persona to her literary art, proposing to read Oksanen's fiction from the methodological viewpoint of the rhetorical theory of narrative. Accordingly, Oksanen's six novels published to date - Stalinin lehmät, Baby Jane, Puhdistus, Kun kyyhkyset katosivat, Norma, and Koirapuisto - are considered as examples of authorial rhetoric and ethics, as narrative and textual constructions, and as affective readerly experiences. Instead of only following the rhetorical theory's emphasis on character, plot, and progression, however, the study develops a new kind of narrative rhetoric, which also pays attention to language and politics. In the study, Sofi Oksanen emerges as a feminist narrative artist, who employs fiction as a serious rhetorical resource in order to say something worthwhile about the past history as well as the contemporary world.

"La Rhétorique d’Aristote est considérée encore aujourd’hui comme le texte fondateur de la discipline. Cicéron, Quintilien, Perelman ou Habermas, pour n’en citer que quelques-uns, sont tous ses héritiers. Pourtant, il existe peu de commentaires philosophiques qui s’attachent à rendre compte de cette œuvre dans son intégralité. C’est cette lacune que vient combler ce livre. L’ambition poursuivie n’est pas d’offrir un commentaire littéral, ni une paraphrase du texte d’Aristote, mais de comprendre les questions qu’il cherche à traiter et à harmoniser en un tout cohérent, qui est ce qu’on appelle aujourd’hui la rhétorique. Celle-ci est-elle une branche de l’éthique ou de la politique ? Est-elle plutôt raisonnement et argumentation, ou est-elle avant tout discours littéraire, fait de figures de style, ce qui va de l’épopée à la tragédie ? De plus, qu’est-ce que persuader et comment le discours y parvient-il ? Trois livres composent la Rhétorique, qui semblent à la fois se compléter et parfois se contredire. Michel Meyer démontre, dans son analyse, que l’entreprise est plus cohérente qu’il n’y paraît, malgré certaines ambiguïtés chez Aristote lui-même. Cette approche nouvelle de l’œuvre d’Aristote est enracinée dans la théorie du questionnement (la problématologie), développée par Michel Meyer depuis plusieurs décennies et permet de restituer à la Rhétorique toute sa cohérence et sa fécondité actuelle."
