Elizabethan Rhetoric reconstructs the knowledge, skills and approaches which an Elizabethan would have acquired in order to participate in the political and religious debates of the time: the approaches to an audience, analysis and replication of textual structures, organisation of arguments and tactics for disputation. Study of the rhetorical codes and conventions in terms of which debates were conducted is currently a major area of historical and literary enquiry, and Mack provides a wealth of new information about what was taught and how these conventions were exploited in personal memoranda, court depositions, sermons and political and religious pamphlets. This important book will be invaluable for all those interested in the culture, literature and political history of the period.Ideas in context ;63.English languageEarly modern, 1500-1700RhetoricEnglish prose literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismEnglish languageRhetoric.English prose literatureHistory and criticism.828.309Mack Peter1955-476334MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823918703321Elizabethan rhetoric3997430UNINA
