Description:This volume explores the fascinating aesthetic and social connection between drama and rhetoric.Inasmuch as drama seeks to keep an audience engaged, it takes on rhetorical qualities; likewise, rhetorical endeavor may employ dramatic appeal. Centuries ago, Aristotle's companion pieces The Rhetoric and The Poetic generated crosscurrents of critical thought about rhetorical and dramatic theory. Recently, such critic-theorists as Kenneth Burke, Ernest Bormann, Elder Olson, Paul de Man, and others have stirred up these currents afresh. The contributors to this volume take provocative new approaches to enduring issues.****Contents **** PART I: Rhetorical Dimensions to the Drama: The Classical ContextEnthymeme and the Invention of Troping in Greek Drama, August W.
