Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores public-speaking and elocution during the Victorian Era. It argues that good public-speaking was considered an essential skill by the Victorians, both for professional and personal reasons. The author draws on primary source material to illustrate and contrast the speaking styles of the time with modern techniques. These techniques included using one's voice, breathing, and body to convey emotions and to captivate an audience. The book also discusses the role of elocution in education and its use as a way to improve social status, particularly for women seeking greater equality in public life. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of public-speaking and its place in Victorian society.
