A Synoptic History of Classical Rhetoric provides students with a thorough review of rhetorical theory and practices found in ancient Greece and Rome. This third edition integrates new research into the text and adds richer context within which to understand the growth and development of the rhetorical self-consciousness that is so central to western civilization. It considers writing and speaking as critical tools for the educated Athenian or Roman, and recognizes the role that writing played in the development and practice of rhetoric in the classical age. Eight classical texts are also provided for study and discussion. With vivid examples of the rhetorical concepts developed by each theorist, it enables students to understand rhetoric's role in the exchange of knowledge and ideas.

This review is from: A Synoptic History of Classical Rhetoric (Hermagoras Press) (Paperback)
The book arrived in good time but the description of the book should have been listed as "good", not "very good". Books in very good condition, in my opinion anyway, should actually be in very good condition, not look as worn as this one does.

This review is from: A Synoptic History of Classical Rhetoric, 2nd Ed. (Paperback)
I bought this book for school and it has been the most helpful book I own. The seller posted an honest description and it got to me sooner than expected. I was really happy to have gotten it so quickly since I needed it as supplement for one of my classes.
