"At a time when some people are asking where rhetoric is going, it
is most appropriate for us to pause for a moment and see where it
has been. Twentieth-Century Roots of Rhetorical Studies permits us
to do just that. This superbly written work reminds us that few
people can write as well as professional rhetoricians. It also
reminds us what those who came before them contributed to our
understanding of human communication over the past century. This
effort provides wonderful memories for those of us who are older,
and critical insights for those who are younger rhetorical
scholars. A must read for anyone who is interested in rhetorical
studies."-James C. McCroskey Professor, Department of Communication
Studies West Virginia University
"King and Kuypers have brought together a volume dedicated to
reclaiming a usable past and countering the belief that the world
began in the middle of the 1960s.' In doing so they have created a
volume characterized by clear--even eloquent--style, keen wit,
pointed and forceful argument, and clear and penetrating
conclusion. A masterful antidote to amnesia and myth, these essays
will undoubtedly elicit controversy, the kind of controversy that
is avoided at our intellectual peril. This is an important book
that should be read by all those who are, or aspire to be,
rhetorical scholars,"-James R. Andrews Professor of Communication
and Culture Indiana University
"Kuypers and King have assembled an important volume of essays
exploring the intellectual heritage of rhetorical studies in the
United States. This is no casual walk down memory lane. The editors
aim to rescue the tradition from politically inspired criticisms
that are "grossly over simplified" or "crudely false," and the
essays illuminate a variety of alternatives to the nihilistic
aimlessness of so much of what passes for rhetorical scholarship
today. This book should be required reading for every graduate
student in rhetorical studies."-J. Michael Hogan Professor,
Department of Speech Communication The Pennsylvania State
University
