On Rhetoric: A Theory of Civic Discourse
"Excellent introduction to text and individual chapters, together with helful footnotes."--Veri Spann, Carnegie Mellon University"One of Kennedy's greatest intellectual strengths...has been his sensitivity to and understanding of Aristotle and the Peripatetic contribution to rhetorical theory and practice....And who could be more qualified to enter upon the task [of translating] than Kennedy, who combines the philological skills of a textual editor with the vast experience of this subject gained in a scholarly career that has been devoted to the study of classical rhetoric....The book is thus an important one and in many ways transcends the limits of the genre into which it superficially fits."--Ancient Philosophy"Prof. Kennedy brings his vast knowledge of classical rhetoric and languages to give the most useful edition now available for the founder of rhetorical theory. We owe him our gratitude."--Robert Coogan, University of Maryland"Wonderful! Kennedy makes a fairly difficult work accessible."--Stuart Greene, University of Wisconsin"Excellent translation and commentary."--Eugene R. August, University of Dayton"Superb translation! Bound to become a standard."--John T. Kirby, Purdue University"Excellent--a very useful text."--David Roochnik, Iowa State University"An excellent translation and a wonderful volume. It is great to teach with!"--William Keith, University of Louisville"Accurate and readable....The supplementary essays and the glossary are particularly helpful."--Robert O. Sider, Dickinson College"Excellent, relevant introduction. Makes an understandable connection between rhetoric and democratic process (or the lack thereof)."--Helena Worthen, College of Alameda
