Book Description
Excerpt from An Address, Delivered Before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Harvard University: On Classical Learning and Eloquence I complain -i complain, that the spirit of the age, and, I fear, the spirit of our government, and, I am sure, the present habits and impulses of society among us, notwithstanding the fine things which have been said of it (partly by ourselves), are adverse to the growth and cultivation of the more delicate and finer species of literature. I complain especially, that classical litera ture is little cultivated; less cultivated than it was; not absolutely, perhaps, but compared with the ad vancement of other things - it is not loved, it is not followed, as it used to be;-nay, I fear that at this moment it is barely in repute among us. I complain that education is not what it should be in this respect, even here in the midst of the flourishing schools of New England (in general our just boast), and in this enlightened age, which so vaunteth itself beyond its predecessors. And I charge you who have any lin gering love of classical literature, all who regard the great common cause of letters, all who have at heart the real welfare and substantial reputation of our coun try, I charge you all, as you love that country and her institutions and those children Whom you hope shall inherit them, that you look carefully and candidly at the actual condition and prospects of our literary affairs. Grave questions are involved. Let them be well weighed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

America’s Great Age of Rhetoric, 1770-1860
Author: Merrill D. Whitburn
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004696601
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 726
Book Description
This book analyzes the advocacy, conceptualization, and institutionalization of rhetoric from 1770 to 1860. Among the forces promoting advocacy was the need for oratory calling for independence, the belief that using rhetoric was the way to succeed in biblical interpretation and preaching, and the desire for rhetoric as entertainment. Conceptually, leaders followed classical and German rhetoricians in viewing rhetoric as an art of ethical choice. Institutionally, a rhetorician such as Ebenezer Porter called for the development of organizations at all levels, a “sociology of rhetoric.” Orville Dewey highlighted the passion for rhetoric, calling his times “the age of eloquence.”
