商品簡介
Rhetoric scholars are increasingly venturing into non-Western cultural territory that developed independently of classical Greek and Roman models. Lipson (Syracuse U.) and Binkley (PhD, rhetoric), co-editors of Rhetoric Before and Beyond the Greeks, introduce 11 contributions to comparative rhetoric and related fields. In addition to the difficulties posed by not being able to read source texts in the original language, authors treat ancient Near Eastern rituals and texts; parallels between the Hebrew Bible's rhetorical theory and Greek philosophy; pre-modern rhetoric in China, Japan, and India; and Irish culture as a European one with minimal Greco-Roman influence.
