Description and Table of Contents

Description

This volume traces America's dominant form of argumentation back to its roots in the rhetorical tradition of the 17th-century American Puritans. It provides approaches to argumentation and the teaching of rhetoric, composition and communication, and a perspective on debates over public discourse.
