{"product_id":"two-elizabethan-treatises-on-rhetoric-9789004322301","title":"Two Elizabethan Treatises on Rhetoric","description":"Sixteenth century Elizabethan treatises on rhetoric in the vernacular are relatively rare. Guillaume Coatalen offers annotated editions of Richard Reynolds’s \u003ci\u003eThe Foundacion of Rhetorike\u003c\/i\u003e (1563), which has not been edited since the 1945 facsimile edition, and of William Medley’s unknown \u003ci\u003eBrief Discourse on Rhetoricke\u003c\/i\u003e which survives in a single manuscript dated 1575. While Reynolds’s work is an English adaptation of Aphthonius's \u003ci\u003eProgymnasmata\u003c\/i\u003e and a preparation for Thomas Wilson’s influential \u003ci\u003eArte of Rhetoricke\u003c\/i\u003e (1560), Medley’s is broader in scope and contains the only full treatment of periodic prose in English in the period. Both works are essential to understand how Elizabethan rhetoric in the vernacular evolved, in particular in aristocratic circles, and its links with Continental developments, notably German.","brand":"Guillaume A.
