Rhetorical Landscapes in America: Variations on a Theme from Kenneth Burke (Studies in Rhetoric/Communication)
"This is a book that should be read by everyone who cares about how we obtain our ideas and how we are led to identify with this or that community. Following Kenneth Burke's brilliantly expanded definition of rhetoric as including all forms of 'identification,' Gregory Clark now demonstrates the ways in which the minds of even the most 'thoughtless' tourists are reshaped by what they see. The rhetoric of landscapes has hardly ever been mentioned before, and Clark's demonstration of how it works may well change all careful readers' (and tourists') notions of how their minds have been shaped."--Wayne Booth, author of The Rhetoric of Fiction and coauthor of The Craft of Research
