Rhetoric

What do you do when you use a metaphor? Or a simile or analogy? Can you tell the difference between a synecdoche and a metonymy? What are the secret tricks used every day by professional persuaders?

In this learned little volume, illustrated by Merrily Harpur, Adina rhetoricians Arvatu and Andrew Aberdein demonstrate the principles of Rhetoric via its key figures and devices, using copious examples to show how all human communication deploys the time-tested techniques of this ancient art.
