This manual pertains to "Greek Rhetoric Before Aristotle: Revised and Expanded Edition," authored by Richard Leo Enos and published by Parlor Press. This academic work delves into the emergence and development of rhetoric in ancient Greece prior to Aristotle's influence. It is intended for scholars and students specializing in classical rhetoric, ancient Greek history, and literary criticism, offering a comprehensive analysis supported by new archaeological discoveries, epigraphical evidence, and expanded literary sources. The book explores the social, political, and cultural forces that shaped rhetoric, its relationship with oral and literate traditions, and the connection between thought and expression in antiquity.
The purpose of this manual is to provide detailed information and guidance related to the content and context of "Greek Rhetoric Before Aristotle: Revised and Expanded Edition." It covers the primary focus of the text, the key evidence and research methodologies employed by the author, and the thematic elements explored. Additionally, it offers insights into the author's extensive background and contributions to the field of rhetoric, including his academic positions, professional affiliations, editorial roles, and other published works. This resource is designed to support a deep understanding and critical engagement with the subject matter for its intended audience.
Recent archaeological discoveries, coupled with long-lost but now available epigraphical evidence, and a more expansive view of literary sources, provide new and dramatic evidence of the emergence of rhetoric in ancient Greece. Many of these artifacts, gathered through onsite fieldwork in Greece, are analyzed in this revised and expanded edition of GREEK RHETORIC BEFORE ARISTOTLE. This new evidence, along with recent developments in research methods and analysis, reveal clearly that long before Aristotle's Rhetoric, long before rhetoric was even stabilized into formal systems of study in Classical Athens, nascent, pre-disciplinary "rhetorics" were emerging throughout Greece. These newly acquired resources and research procedures demonstrate that oral and literate rhetoric emerged not only because of intellectual developments and the refinement of technologies that facilitated communication but also because of social, political and cultural forces that nurtured rhetoric's growth and popularity throughout the Hellenic world. GREEK RHETORIC BEFORE ARISTOTLE offers insights into the mentalities forming and driving expression, revealing, in turn, a great deal more about the relationship of thought and expression in Antiquity. A more expansive understanding of these pre-disciplinary manifestations of rhetoric, in all of their varied forms, enriches the history and the nature of classical rhetoric as a formalized discipline. | RICHARD LEO ENOS is Professor and holder of the Lillian Radford Chair of Rhetoric and Composition at Texas Christian University. His research concentration is in classical rhetoric with an emphasis in the relationship between oral and written discourse.
