This volume explores how persuasion ceased to be the seemingly self-evident objective of rhetoric and became, instead, a variable and substantive focus for discussion in its own right. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter rhetoric ceded much of its centrality to logic and empirical procedures, the significance and implications of persuasion were the subject of renewed attention in a range of different fields, including philosophy, law, poetry, novels, botany, cultural criticism, historiography, political thought, and public lecturing. \u003cem\u003ePersuasion after Rhetoric in the Eighteenth Century and Romanticism\u003c\/em\u003e maps how values of persuasion were adapted and diversified in ways that still resonate with current arguments about conviction, understanding, and belief. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors address the figurations of persuasion in a range of theorists and writers, from Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Adam Smith, Immanuel Kant, Edmund Burke, and Mary Wollstonecraft, to Samuel Richardson, Jane Austen, Thomas De Quincey, Thomas Campbell, William Hazlitt, Heinrich Heine, William Lloyd Garrison, and Frances Ellen Watkins Harper. This collection offers a detailed account of persuasive interests at the threshold of modernity. It also prompts us to rethink persuasion now that its continued efficacy seems at risk in a fragmented public sphere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yasmin Solomonescu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0192863738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780192863737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Yasmin Solomonescu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46110883021055,"sku":"9780192863737","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_27312aee-1e1c-4a9e-88a1-e5ab409af566.jpg?v=1725470045","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/persuasion-after-rhetoric-in-the-yasmin-solomonescu-9780192863737","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
