Based on material from Byzantine and Old Church Slavonic homilies and from Byzantine rhetorical commentaries, the book redefines and expands our understanding of both Byzantine and Old Church Slavonic prose rhythm. It positions rhetorical rhythm at the intersection of prose and poetry and explores its role in argumentation and persuasion, suggesting that rhetorical rhythm can carry across linguistic boundaries, and in general aims to demonstrate the stylistic and argumentative importance of rhythm in rhetorical practice. Along the way, it challenges the entrenched separation between content and style and emphasizes the role of rhythm as a tool of invention and a means of creating shared emotional experience. 517 3 $aRhetoric & Rhythm in Byzantium 606 $aByzantine literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aRhetoric, Medieval$zByzantine Empire$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChurch Slavic language 606 $aRhythm in literature 615 0$aByzantine literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aRhetoric, Medieval$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChurch Slavic language. 615 0$aRhythm in literature. 676 $a880.9/002 686 $aLIT004130$2bisacsh 700 $aValiavitcharska$b Vessela$f1971-$01475315 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790404703321 996 $aRhetoric and rhythm in Byzantium$93689487 997 $aUNINA
