Walker, Jeffrey
Rhetoric and Poetics in Antiquity

Walker offers a counter-traditional account of the history of both rhetoric and poetics. In reply to traditional rhetorical histories, which view 'rhetoric' as an art of practical civic oratory, the author argues in four extended essays that epideictic-poetic eloquence was central, even fundamental, to the rhetorical tradition in antiquity.
