Editorial Reviews
Review
"The best survey of practical reasoning available."--Stephen McKenna, Catholic University
"An excellent synopsis of rhetorical theory as related to examples, in preparartion for writing. It gives useful structure for my course..."--Elza Tiner, Lynchburg College
"The definitive rhetorical textbook for contemporary students."--William Sewell, Southwest Missouri State University
"A breath of fresh air after McLuhan. For Corbett, once again, the message becomes the message. Substantial depth in an era of superficiality."--V.M. Bavilacova, University of Massachusetts
"Excellent, clearly presented information and theories. Would expand students' minds in the area of the classics and help develop an understanding of the basics of communication."--Doris D. Phillips, University of Mississippi
"A classic in the field of composition studies, a work that has shaped the discipline. Sorts out the often confusing writings of classical rhetoric and shows how the ancient art can help contemporary students negotiate the realm of persuasive discourse."--Gary Layne Hatch, Brigham Young University
"Remains the essential practice-oriented text in the field, and the third edition has avoided the temptation to 'modernize' away its primary purpose and value."--Patrick Scott, University of South Carolina
"Corbett's work is very readable and has generous excerpts from various rhetoric sources; the integration of classical rhetoric with contemporary approaches is of particular appeal."--Sr. Marie Brinkman, Saint Mary College
"I am now using this text....I think it is superb and have ever since I was first introduced to it as a new graduate teaching assistant myself in 1983....I need a text like this to introduce classical rhetoric, as I believe it to be the backbone of all writing courses."--Jerri Williams, West Texas State University
"Not only is this a widely respected text, but I enjoy using it because it enables me to involve students in modern rhetorical issues--making clear the ways media, institutions, and individals use language to influence their beliefs, attitudes and behavior--as well as impress them with the historical tradition of the analysis and practice they have just begun."--Sam McCool, Carlow College
