Description

This critical analysis identifies the different rhetorical strategies and techniques that Emerson used first as a traditional New England preacher and then as he became a widely renowned public lecturer. Ten texts illustrating his different kinds of speeches on a wide array of subjects, such as prayer, manners, eloquence, the American scholar, the genuine man, and the fugitive slave law, accompany the analysis. A speech chronology and bibliography pointing to important primary and secondary materials further enrich this Great American Orators reference tool for students, scholars, and professionals in rhetoric, history, and American studies.

Author Biography:

LLOYD ROHLER, Associate Professor of Speech Communication, University of North Carolina, has written at length about American orators and oratory. His recent book-length studies include Great Speeches for Criticism and Analysis (1992).
