Readings in Contemporary Rhetoric

by Sonja K. Foss, Karen A. Foss, Robert Trapp

These 25 selections allow the reader to sample the multiple voices contributing to the creation of knowledge through rhetoric. Exposure to the theorists' ideas in their own words provides a richer, more meaningful understanding. While the same number of pages are devoted to each theorist, in some cases one lengthy essay is included that captures the core ideas of a theorist; in other instances, several examples are offered. The extensive bibliography of works about the theorists included in the anthology is a valuable resource. Titles of related interest also available from Waveland Foss et al., Contemporary Perspectives on Rhetoric, 30th Anniversary Edition (ISBN 9781478615248); Hauser, Introduction to Rhetorical Theory, Second Edition (ISBN 9781577662211); and Smith, Rhetoric and Human A History, Fourth Edition (ISBN 9781577667971).
