In her study of the eighteenth-century transition from classical to modern perspectives in British rhetorical theory, Agnew argues that this shift was significantly shaped by resurgent influences of Stoic ethical philosophy. Agnew argues that writers such as Adam Smith, Henry Home, Lord Kames, Hugh Blair, George Campbell, and Richard Whately drew upon Stoic ideas and the earlier work of Lord Shaftesbury, Francis Hutcheson, and Thomas Reid in their integration of Stoic ethics and rhetorical theory.
