Doing Rhetorical History: Concepts and Cases
United States history, General non-fiction, Anthologies, Politics and government
Synthetic audio, Automated braille
Summary
This collection argues that rhetorical history, both as a methodology and as a perspective, offers insights that are central to the study of communication and unavailable through other approaches. The conceptualizations and methodologies of rhetorical history will increase in significance… during the burgeoning "Communication Age" as we seek to cope with the present and prepare for the future by better understanding the past. This volume serves as an overview of a recently neglected methodological approach and acts as the first step in ending that neglect.
