This new volume, an extensive revision and abridgment of \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Persuasion in Greece\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Rhetoric in the Roman World, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGreek Rhetoric under Christian Emperors, \u003c\/i\u003e provides a comprehensive history of classical rhetoric, one that is sure to become a standard for its time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Kennedy begins by identifying the rhetorical features of early Greek literature that anticipated the formulation of metarhetoric, or a theory of rhetoric, in the fifth and fourth centuries b.c.e. and then traces the development of that theory through the Greco-Roman period. He gives an account of the teaching of literary and oral composition in schools, and of Greek and Latin oratory as the primary rhetorical genre. He also discusses the overlapping disciplines of ancient philosophy and religion and their interaction with rhetoric. The result is a broad and engaging history of classical rhetoric that will prove especially useful for students and for others who want an overview of classical rhetoric in condensed form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George A.
