Author Description

The Norton Anthology of Rhetoric and Writing treats rhetoric not as the property of a single culture, time, place, group, or language, but rather as a phenomenon that reaches far beyond the Western tradition presented in most histories of rhetoric. With over 250 primary texts and case studies from a broad variety of media and genres, the collection spans dozens of regions over more than four thousand years. Written by seven leading rhetoric, composition, and communication scholars, this definitive new anthology aims to make the field more complete, collaborative, and participatory.
