| Summary: | This book documents an unprecedented effort to produce new treatises on rhetoric at Oxford in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Part 1 includes chapters on the origins, causes and eventual decline of this "renaissance," as well as on the new textbooks and their authors, tradition and innovation in their rhetorical precepts and the pedagogical contexts in which they were deployed. Part 2 consists of Latin editions and facing English translations of eight rhetorical treatises. Four of the Latin texts have never been printed before, and all eight are translated here for the first time. |
