Modern Rhetorical Criticism cover

A comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the analysis of public rhetoric, Modern Rhetorical Criticism teaches readers how to examine and interpret rhetorical situations, ideas, arguments, structure, and style. The text covers a wide range of critical techniques, from cultural and dramatistic analysis to feminist and Marxist approaches. A wealth of original criticism demonstrates how to analyze such diverse forms as junk mail, campaign speeches, and popular entertainment, as well as literature. This long-awaited revision offers specific guidance on crafting analytic essays, and contains new coverage of legacy as well as new media, identity criticism, and post-colonial and decolonial criticism. The fourth edition also offers additional resources online for instructors and students.

Modern Rhetorical Criticism takes a fresh approach to the time-honored study of rhetorical criticism, merging the study of rhetorical tradition and change. The 4th edition provides breadth and concision, covering critical perspectives from the wide-angle (focus on culture) to the microscopic (focus on words) in an engaging and accessible style.
