Farnsworth’s

Classical English Rhetoric

Every writer should have this book.

Erin McKean

editor of Verbatim: The Language Quarterly

Mandatory for persons involved in public speaking, this book should prove indispensable also to writers wishing to improve their literary style.

John Simon

author of Paradigms Lost

An engaging and accessible guide, valuable to all who wish to improve their rhetorical skills or better appreciate the abilities of others.

Library Journal

Deserves a place on the shelf next to the dictionary and thesaurus.

ALA Choice

I admire this book and enjoy noting how these allegedly artificial tropes are actually what the tongue naturally seeks.

Peter Elbow

professor emeritus of English, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and author of Writing Without Teachers

Ward Farnsworth’s invaluable review of classical English rhetoric is not only a vital tool for aiding clear expression, but a timely reminder that, despite the confusion of the present technological age, human nature, and our ability to communicate in clear and often beautiful ways, are unchanging.

Victor Davis Hanson

co-author of Who Killed Homer?: The Demise of Classical Education and the Recovery of Greek Wisdom
