Aristotle's Rhetoric was the first systematic study of civic discourse to appear in the history of western civilization. Yet this classic text has not benefited from new translation in sixty years. Now, George A. Kennedy, a leading scholar of classics and communications, has provided an up-to-date, lucid translation, which will make the Rhetoric as accessible as Aristotle's Poetics . Kennedy's version takes into account all of the latest scholarship on Aristotle, using the most reliable texts available, and preserving Aristotle's distinctive style. He eliminates euphemistic and sexist language and maintains contradictions which exist in the hand-written, medieval manuscripts (our only access to Aristotle's work). This version also provides the most substantial commentary and the most extensive notes of any English translation as well as a glossary of Greek rhetorical vocabulary, supplementary texts, and essays on the Rhetoric's composition and the history of the text after Aristotle.
