Classical Rhetoric for the Modern Student 10 reviews
Edward P.J. Corbett
Oxford University Press, 1966
A pedagogical tour de force
This book is a must-have for all those who wish and need to grasp the essentials of rhetoric and logic.

The Rhetoric of Blair, Campbell, and Whately, Revised Edition (Landmarks in Rhetoric and Public Address)1 review
