Recenzje

"Leff and Bennett provide an excellent introduction to the volume....each (essay) joins a rhetorical conversation with subsequent readers of those treatises that will move them toward an understanding of the art of rhetoric. Each renders problematic attempts at definitive rhetorical history. And each demonstrates just how pedagogical the history of rhetoric can be....recommended for all students of rhetoric."
—Quarterly Journal of Speech

"The high quality of the historical scholarship that the volume represents provides a solid tribute to Murphy's influence and a strong indicator that his goal of opening Medieval and Renaissance rhetoric to detailed historical study is being met in current scholarship."
—Technical Communication Quarterly
