By detailing the education and oratorical practices of pioneering female public speakers, \u003ci\u003eRegendering Delivery: The Fifth Canon and Antebellum Women Rhetors\u003c\/i\u003e theorizes how gender impacted the fifth rhetorical canon of delivery and how cultural constructions of the feminine have shaped public performance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuchanan argues that restrictive gender norms encouraged antebellum women rhetors to develop unique styles and methods of rhetorical production and performance. She examines how schoolgirls devised ways to learn and practice elocution in academic settings and how women developed inventive delivery strategies to maintain the appearance of femininity even as they participated in conventionally masculine discursive activities from general public speaking to political lobbying. She also identifies collaborative methods that enabled antebellum women to negotiate conflicts between their domestic and rhetorical commitments and thus reach public platforms\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAssessing the calculable impact of gender on rhetorical performance, Buchanan maintains that delivery holds particular sexual and textual connotations for women rhetors. \u003ci\u003eRegendering Delivery \u003c\/i\u003enotably contributes to ongoing feminist efforts to incorporate women into the rhetorical tradition by probing such gendered--and largely overlooked--aspects of oratorical delivery as cultural context, gender norms, elocutionary education, sexuality, maternity, feminine ethos, and collaboration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lindal Buchanan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0809326582\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780809326587\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Southern Illinois University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 5.52w x 0.58d","brand":"Lindal Buchanan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448974160127,"sku":"9780809326587","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8724dda6-37eb-405a-94c2-7f5ac5e2bef6.jpg?v=1777261407","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/regendering-delivery-lindal-buchanan-9780809326587","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
