Things, Thoughts, Words, And Actions: The Problem Of Language In Late Eighteenthcentury British Rhetorical Theory,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
H. Lewis Ulman here examines the roles of language theory in eighteenthcentury British rhetorics, linking those roles to philosophical issues informing twentiethcentury rhetorical theory. In doing so, Ulman develops a general model of the 'problem of language' for rhetorical theory, a model that transcends the impasse between realism and skepticism that marks both eighteenth and twentiethcentury rhetorical theory.The nature of language was never more central to rhetorical theory than in the second half of the eighteenth century. Yet, until now, the articulation of theories of language and the arts of rhetoric in eighteenthcentury Britain has received little attention. Ulman examines the role of grammar and theories of language in the formation of eighteenthcentury rhetorical theory, investigating the significance of language theory for such key concerns of eighteenthcentury rhetoric as verbal criticism, style, and elocution. His study highlights what he understands as the central motive of late eighteenthcentury British rhetoriciansto construct for their particular cultural context philosophically rigorous accounts of verbal communication based on carefully articulated theories of thought and language.Toward this end, Ulman examines three eighteenthcentury British rhetorical treatises: George Campbells Philosophy of Rhetoric, Hugh Blairs Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres, and Thomas Sheridans Course of Lectures on Elocution. He then identifies the continuities and discontinuities between the problem of language for eighteenth and twentiethcentury rhetorical theory and proposes a pluralistic stance toward the problem of language in rhetoric as an alternative to the theoretical standoff that currently characterizes the debate between realist and antirealist rhetorics.
