Publisher's Synopsis
Rhetoric and the Study of Literature is a book written by Alfred Marshall Hitchcock in 1913. This book is an exploration of the relationship between rhetoric and literature, and how the study of rhetoric can enhance one's understanding and appreciation of literary works. Hitchcock argues that rhetoric, the art of persuasive communication, is essential to the study of literature because it provides a framework for understanding the ways in which authors use language to convey meaning and evoke emotion. The book covers a range of topics related to rhetoric and literature, including the history of rhetoric, the principles of effective communication, and the analysis of literary texts. Hitchcock also provides practical advice for students and scholars of literature, offering guidance on how to approach the study of rhetoric and how to apply rhetorical principles to the analysis of literary works. Overall, Rhetoric and the Study of Literature is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of rhetoric and literature, and how the two disciplines can inform and enrich each other.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
