"Landmark Essays on Aristotelian Rhetoric not only challenges its readers to come to terms with various key issues associated with the Rhetoric and the discipline it represents, but it facilitates these encounters by means of its dialectical arrangement, one that is faithful to Aristotle's own philosophical method. In this, the collection achieves its overall purpose by offering students and teachers 'a coherent collection for advancing observation.'"—Rhetoric Society Quarterly
