Rhetoric and Poetics in Antiquity
ISBN: 9780195130355 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book offers a counter-traditional account of the history of both rhetoric and poetics.

In essence, Jeffrey Walker's study accomplishes what in the world of rhetoric studies amounts to a revolution: he demonstrates that in antiquity rhetoric and poetry could not be viewed separately.
