Summary:  "Rhetoric - the art of using language effectively so as to persuade or influence others - is given a negative reception in modern society, and often associated with shallow or deceptive language. In this title, Richard Toye explores the purpose of rhetoric. Rather than presenting a defence of it, he considers it as a foundation-stone of civil society, and as an essential part of any democratic process. Using wide-ranging examples from Ancient Greece, medieval Islamic preaching, and modern cinema, Toye shows how and why an appreciation of rhetoric could benefit us all."--Book jacket.
