A review by rremer
Classical Rhetoric in English Poetry by Brian Vickers

3.0

First time in a while I read a book with such technical language, so it was nice to stretch those muscles. Reading it made me wish I knew more about rhetoric, that it was still something I could learn in school. I can see the value for both speech and creative writing and the assessment of its use in English poetry was well done. It was convincing both in detail and breadth of authors and works chosen to exemplify.
