{"product_id":"in-defence-of-rhetoric-9780198117919","title":"In Defence of Rhetoric","description":"A spirited effort to restore the importance of rhetoric, this book examines its early development in the classical era, its triumph during the Renaissance, and its subsequent decline. While acknowledging rhetoric's general loss of prestige, the author asserts its value in modern times as an indispensable vehicle for style and thought in the work of Joyce, Orwell, Jarrell, and others, and concludes by surveying rhetoric's fragmentation and misapplication in the current critical theories of such thinkers as Jakobson and de Man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Vickers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OUP Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.88h x 5.80w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198117919\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44185072894067,"sku":"9.7802E+12","price":197.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_4345b6e4-3889-4457-bbae-7ebb996d5bc2.jpg?v=1767099362","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/in-defence-of-rhetoric-9780198117919","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
