Newman's A Practical System of Rhetoric, Beth L. Hewett argues that Newman, an American nineteenth-century rhetorician, has been unfairly judged by criteria disconnected from his goals and accomplishments. His exceptionally popular textbook is important for how he engaged received theory, fit practice to the era, struggled with age-old questions of thought and language, and spoke to his readers. He operationalized the concept of taste, giving it functionality for invention, and inflected Belletrism with American illustrations suited to the nascent, uniquely American communicative requirements of a democracy. Hewett's modern scholarly edition contextualizes this book as the serious work of a scholar-educator, demonstrating its values in the context of nineteenth-century American rhetorical and textbook history"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aInternational studies in the history of rhetoric ;$vVolume 13. 606 $aEnglish language$y19th century$xRhetoric 615 0$aEnglish language$xRhetoric. 676 $a808/.042 700 $aHewett$b Beth L.$01468086 702 $aHewett$b Beth L 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794386303321 996 $aA scholarly edition of Samuel P.
