Debates, Rhetoric and Political Action
Description
Reviews / Votes
"This book is far reaching, in both its scope and depth. It effectively engages with rhetoric in political debate on a series of levels and is very clearly structured, with the arguments well-presented and corroborated throughout. The depth is apparent in a multi-disciplinary approach where parallels are found across the social sciences and indeed into the realms of theatre and literature." (Dr Paul Rowinski, University of Bedfordshire, UK)More details
