The Encyclopedia of Rhetoric, "a comprehensive treatment of the art of persuasion," is now online through April 6th as part of a new electronic trail of the Oxford Digital Reference Shelf. The Encyclopedia brings together expertise in classical studies, philosophy, literature, literary theory, cultural studies, speech, and communication for a wide-ranging reference work combining theory, history, and practice, with a special emphasis on public speaking, performance, and communication.
