On eloquence

Author: Denis Donoghue
Publisher: New Haven : Yale University Press, [2008] ©2008
Edition/Format:  eBook : Document : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:
On Eloquence questions the common assumption that eloquence is merely a subset of rhetoric, a means toward a rhetorical end. Denis Donoghue, an eminent and prolific critic of the English language, holds that this assumption is erroneous. In this book, Donoghue maintains that eloquence should be examined independent of mere rhetoric and that it has its own intrinsic value.
