This new edition of George A. Kennedy's highly acclaimed translation and commentary offers the most faithful English version ever published of
On Rhetoric. Based on careful study of the Greek text and informed by the best modern scholarship, the second edition has been fully revised and
updated. As in the first edition, Kennedy makes the work readily accessible to modern students by providing an insightful general introduction, helpful section introductions, a detailed outline, extensive explanatory notes, and a glossary of Aristotle's rhetorical terms. Striving to convey a sense
of Aristotle's distinctive way of thinking, Kennedy preserves the meaning and technical language of the original text,
explaining it in detail as opposed to simplifying it as other translations do.
Updated and expanded in light of recent scholarship, the second edition features:
* A revised introduction with two new sections: The Strengths and Limitations of
On Rhetoric and Aristotle's Original Audience and His Audience Today
* A more user-friendly format: running heads now include book and chapter numbers
* An updated bibliography
* Revised appendices that provide translations of new supplementary texts--Socrates' Critique of Sophistic Rhetoric; Lysias' Speech
Against the Grain Dealers; two selections from Isocrates (from
Against the Sophists and from the
Antidosis); selections from
Rhetoric for Alexander; and Demosthenes'
Third Philippic--and an extensive revision of George A. Kennedy's essay The Earliest Rhetorical Handbooks
