This new edition of George A. Kennedy’s highly acclaimed translation and commentary offers the most faithful English version ever published of On Rhetoric. Based on careful study of the Greek text and informed by the best modern scholarship, the second edition has been fully revised and updated. As in the first edition, Kennedy makes the work readily accessible to modern students by providing an insightful general introduction, helpful section introductions, a detailed outline, extensive explanatory notes, and a glossary of Aristotle’s rhetorical terms. Striving to convey a sense of Aristotle’s distinctive way of thinking, Kennedy preserves the meaning and technical language of the original text, explaining it in detail as opposed to simplifying it as other translations do.
Review
Praise for the previous edition:
“[This book] is much more than a translation; it is a guide to the literature, a mini-commentary, and a do-it-yourself manual to understanding Aristotle. . . . [It] deserves to be the standard translation for decades to come.”–Quarterly Journal of Speech
“George Kennedy has taken on a difficult job–providing a scholarly edition of the Rhetoric that will also serve as a textbook for students–and has succeeded admirably. His introduction gives an excellent overview of Aristotle’s work and is a pleasure to read. The chapter-by-chapter outline is magnificent.”–Erika Lindemann, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
“Easy-to-read, trustworthy, and has the added distinction of bringing out more clearly than any other translation the way Aristotle’s reasoning works. It will improve the general state of Aristotle studies in the English-speaking world.”–Thomas Conley, University of Illinois
“Kennedy’s extensive use of footnotes and careful editing allow students access to Aristotle’s writings as few other translations are able to do. This book is a must for any contemporary study of classical rhetorical theory.”–James J. Tarbox, Oregon State University
