From Reading to Writing -- Conclusion. 330 $aThis book aims to help readers interpret, and reflect on, their reading more effectively. It presents doctrines of ancient and renaissance rhetoric (an education in how to write well) as questions or categories for interpreting one's reading. The first chapter presents the questions. Later chapters use rhetorical theory to bring out the implications of, and suggest possible answers to, the questions: about occasion and audience (chapter 2), structure and disposition (3), narrative (4), argument (5), further elements of content, such as descriptions, comparisons, proverbs and moral axioms, dialogue, and examples (6), and style (7). Chapter eight describes ways of gathering material, formulating arguments and writing about the texts one reads. The conclusion considers the wider implications of taking a rhetorical approach to reading. The investigation of rhetoric's questions is interspersed with analyses of texts by Chaucer, Sidney, Shakespeare, Fielding and Rushdie, using the questions.The text is intended for university students of literature, especially English literature, and rhetoric, and their teachers. . 410 0$aEarly Modern Literature in History,$x2634-5927 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEuropean literature$yRenaissance, 1450-1600 606 $aLiterary Theory 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEuropean literature 615 14$aLiterary Theory. 615 24$aLiterary History. 615 24$aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature. 676 $a808 700 $aMack$b Peter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0476334 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255094703321 996 $aRhetoric's Questions, Reading and Interpretation$92026645 997 $aUNINA
