"A Companion to Rhetoric and Rhetorical Criticism" offers the first major survey in two decades of the field of rhetorical studies and of the practice of rhetorical theory and criticism across a range of disciplines. The contributions are written by leading scholars from a variety of different fields and have all been specially commissioned for this volume. They focus on specific works, problems, or figures, pursuing theory and criticism from an engaged and practical perspective. The volume also includes an overview of rhetorical traditions, providing examples of rhetoric from ancient times to the present day. Designed to be accessible to a range of students and scholars, "A Companion to Rhetoric and Rhetorical Criticism" elaborates in fascinating ways just what it means to "think like a rhetorician."
