Descripción Hardcover. Condición: Very Good Plus. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good Plus. First Edition. 1990. x, 198pp. "This study attempts an ambitious synthesis of the two contrasting traditions of rhetorical and realist criticism. The book stresses the rhetorical dimension of all writing, showing how writing only takes on its force in particular and historically specificable situations. But, unusually for writing on rhetoric, the study retains an emphasis on the referential function of writing, suggesting that rhetorical success is often dependent on successful reference in the world. . A lucid introduction provides a guide to some of the theoretical issues involved, relating literary questions to issues in philosophy and in linguistics. Each chapter offers provocative and historically specific readings of a range of 'post-Enlightenment writers' selected for discussion because, Simon Dentith argues, since the Enlightenment, rhetoric has been repudiated both in writing and in criticism. . Discussing in turn Godwin, hazlitt, Dickens, Morris, Carpenter and Orwell, Simon Dentith demonstrates both that apparently extrinsic factors condition the force of writing, and that the activity of the writer can, in unstable but nevertheless powerful ways, alter the conditions of their success. the concludes with an outline of the contemporary rhetorical scene." There is light wear to the spine ends and to the top rear corner of the unclipped dust jacket. Very mild bumping to the book covers top edge. Both book and dust jacket are otherwise in excellent condition. All contents are tight and clean. There are no inscriptions. Nº de ref. del artículo: LitCrit138
