    This collection of twelve original essays, edited by Victor J. Vitanza, is a historiography of rhetoric, summarizing what has recently been accomplished in the revision of traditional histories of rhetoric and discussing what might be accomplished in the future. Featuring a variety of approaches - classical, revisionary, and avant-garde - it includes articles by Sharon Crowley, Hans Kellner, Kathleen Ethel Welch, William A. Covino, James A. Berlin, and John Schilb. In the first essay, Sharon Crowley identifies the major players and primary issues in a chronological narrative of the debate about the writing of the history of rhetoric that has arisen between traditionalists/essentialists and revisionists/constructionists. In recent years, traditionalists have demanded a more complete and accurate history, while revisionists have sought a critical understanding of the various epistemological-ideological grounds upon which a history of rhetoric had been and could be constructed. Revisionists, in their search for multiple, contestatory histories, have begun to critique one another, breaking into two general groups: one favoring a political-social program, the other resisting and disrupting such an approach

    Vitanza echoes Crowley's review of this ongoing debate by asking a crucial question: What exactly does it mean to be a revisionist historian? By combining the disintegration of various revisionist and subversive positions into a communal "we," he asks an additional question: Who is the "we" writing histories of rhetoric? The essays that follow give a rich answer to Vitanza's questions. They bring the writing of histories of rhetoric into the larger area of postmodern theory, raising neglected issues of race, gender, and class. Written with a variety of intentions, some of the essays are expository and highly argumentative while others are manifestos, innovative and far-reaching in tone. Still others are summaries and background studies, providing useful information to both the novice student and the experienced scholar

    In this new study, H. Lewis Ulman examines the roles of language theory in eighteenth-century British rhetorics, linking those roles to philosophical issues informing twentieth-century rhetorical theory. In doing so, Ulman develops a general model of the "problem of language" for rhetorical theory, a model that transcends the impasse between realism and skepticism that marks both eighteenth- and twentieth-century rhetorical theory. The nature of language was never more central to rhetorical theory than in the second half of the eighteenth century. Yet, until now, the articulation of theories of language and arts of rhetoric in eighteenth-century Britain has received little attention. Ulman examines the role of grammar and theories of language in the formation of eighteenth-century rhetorical theory, investigating the significance of language theory for such key concerns of eighteenth-century rhetoric as verbal criticism, style, taste, and elocution. His study highlights what he understands as the central motive of late eighteenth-century British rhetoricians - to construct for their particular cultural context philosophically rigorous accounts of verbal communication based on carefully articulated theories of thought and language

    Scholarly work from the 1950s through the early 1970s interpreted eighteenth-century British rhetoric in terms of contemporary debate over the epistemological nature of rhetoric, a debate that focused on principles of logic, patterns of argument, and theories of evidence. Debate in the 1980s and 1990s, however, has centered on theories of literacy, of the social requirements of language, and, more generally, of symbolic representation and inducement. Ulman, however, engages the social context of eighteenth-century rhetoric very differently from earlier work by examining the relationship of language theory and arts of rhetoric to structures of social power. He stresses the importance of the consideration of the articulation of language theory and arts of rhetoric in the eighteenth century because the problem of language for rhetoric is similarly structured in both the eighteenth and twentieth centuries and because the contemporary debate over the philosophical grounding of rhetoric can be traced to theoretical tensions in the eighteenth century. In order to analyze the systematic relationships between theories of language and arts of rhetoric in eighteenth-century Britain, Ulman adopts as key terms Richard McKeon's four "places of invention and memory" - things, thoughts, words, and actions. These terms serve as a means of reading rhetorical history into rhetoric's future, proving that the historical interpretation of arts of rhetoric can be linked to contemporary theory building

    Toward this end, Ulman examines the different articulations of theories of language and arts of rhetoric in three eighteenth-century British rhetorical treatises: George Campbell's Philosophy of Rhetoric, Hugh Blair's Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres, and Thomas Sheridan's Course of Lectures on Elocution. He then identifies the continuities and discontinuities between the problem of language for eighteenth- and twentieth-century rhetorical theory and proposes a pluralistic stance toward the problem of language in rhetoric as an alternative to the theoretical standoff that currently characterizes the debate between realist and antirealist rhetorics. This book, indispensable to scholars in rhetoric and composition, will also be of interest to all eighteenth-century scholars

    The problem of language: things, thoughts, words, and actions -- On "The nature, use, and signification of language" -- Words as thoughts: the "Radical principles" of eloquence in Campbell's rhetoric -- Words as things: icons of progress in Blair's lectures on rhetoric and belles lettres -- Words as actions: the "Living voice" in Sheridan's lectures on elocution -- A creative interplay of philosophies

    Placing herself in the avid reader's chair, Linda Wagner-Martin writes about women's biography from George Eliot and Virginia Woolf to Eleanor Roosevelt and Margaret Mead, and even to Cher and Elizabeth Taylor. Along the way, she looks at dozens of other life stories, probing at the differences between biographies of men and women, prevailing stereotypes about women's lives and roles, questions about what is public and private, and the hazy margins between autobiography, biography, and other genres. In quick-paced and wide-ranging discussions, she looks at issues of authorial stance (who controls the narrative? who chooses which story to tell?), voice (is this story told in the traditional objective tone? and if it is, what effect does that telling have on our reading?), and the politics of publishing (why aren't more books about women's lives published? and when they are, what happens to their advertising budgets?)

    Biography: the old and the new -- Telling women's lives -- The trap of the stereotype -- Relinquishing stereotypes -- The biographer's problem: women as wives -- A woman's self: wives and writers -- The power of naming -- Listening to women's stories -- Writing about mothers -- Taking control of story: women's voices -- Families of women -- The best of them -- Popular biography -- Revisionist biographies of women

    Everyone talks about style, but no one explains it. The authors of this book do; and in doing so, they provoke the reader to consider style, not as an elegant accessory of effective prose, but as its very heart. At a time when writing skills have virtually disappeared, what can be done? If only people learned the principles of verbal correctness, the essential rules, wouldn't good prose simply fall into place? Thomas and Turner say no. Attending to rules of grammar, sense, and sentence structure will no more lead to effective prose than knowing the mechanics of a golf swing will lead to a hole-in-one. Furthermore, ten-step programs to better writing exacerbate the problem by failing to recognize, as Thomas and Turner point out, that there are many styles with different standards. In the first half of Clear and Simple, the authors introduce a range of styles - reflexive, practical, plain, contemplative, romantic, prophetic, and others - contrasting them to classic style. Its principles are simple: The writer adopts the pose that the motive is truth, the purpose is presentation, the reader is an intellectual equal, and the occasion is informal. Classic style is at home in everything from business memos to personal letters, from magazine articles to university writing. The second half of the book is a tour of examples - the exquisite and the execrable - showing what has worked and what hasn't. Classic prose is found everywhere: from Thomas Jefferson to Junichiro Tanizaki, from Mark Twain to the observations of an undergraduate. Here are many fine performances in classic style, each clear and simple as the truth
