Download or read book The Garden of Eloquence written by Willard R. Espy and published by HarperCollins Publishers. This book was released on 1983 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: M. Jourdain, a character in a Moliere play, was amazed when told he had been speaking prose all his life. Willard Espy, who has been compared to Lewis Carroll for his light-hearted and fanciful treatment of words, points out that every day we use rhetoric just as unknowingly. In this latest book, Mr. Espy has created a preposterous wonderland, a garden such as never was; and in the words of Henry Peacham (who published the first Garden of Eloquence in 1577), he has "set therein such figurative Flowers, both of Grammar and Rhetoric, as do yield the sweet savor of Eloquence." Besides its flowers, Espy's Garden is inhabited by creatures large and small, lovable and quarrelsome, beautiful and ugly, each incarnating some figure of speech (or trope)-that magical device that extends the range of language to infinity. We are all familiar with such common tropes as metaphor, hyperbole, and alliteration, but did you know that when the minister says "let us gather together" he is employing pleonasmus? Or that "it was no small task" is an example of litotes? Was Eliza Doolittle aware, when she said she wanted to sit "absobloominlutely still," that she was teaching Henry Higgins about tmesis? Metaphor, hyperbole, alliteration, pleonasmus, litotes, tmesis-these are but a sprinkling of the unforgettable Garden folk. Espy explains more than 200 rhetorical devices, dozens of them in verses sung by the tropes themselves. Each verse is followed by a definition, a comment, and examples of the usage in history, literature, and everyday speech. Thirty of the figures come visually alive in Teresa Allen's charming and witty illustrations, and word games abound throughout the book.

Download or read book Femininity and Psychoanalysis written by Agnieszka Piotrowska and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-29 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Freud, famously, the feminine was a dark continent, or a riddle without an answer. This understanding concerns man’s relationship to the question of ‘woman’ but femininity is also a matter of sexuality and gender and therefore of identity and experience. Drawing together leading academics, including film and literary scholars, clinicians and artists from diverse backgrounds, Femininity and Psychoanalysis: Cinema, Culture, Theory speaks to the continued relevance of psychoanalytic understanding in a social and political landscape where ideas of gender and sexuality are undergoing profound changes. This transdisciplinary collection crosses boundaries between clinical and psychological discourse and arts and humanities fields to approach the topic of femininity from a variety of psychoanalytic perspectives. From object relations, to Lacan, to queer theory, the essays here revisit and rethink the debates over what the feminine might be. The volume presents a major new work by leading feminist film scholar, Elizabeth Cowie, in which she presents a first intervention on the topic of film and the feminine for over 20 years, as well as a key essay by the prominent artist and psychoanalyst, Bracha Ettinger. Written by an international selection of contributors, this collection is an indispensable tool for film and literary scholars engaged with psychoanalysts and anybody interested in different approaches to the question of the feminine.

Download or read book Lectures on Rhetoric and Oratory written by John Quincy Adams and published by Pantianos Classics. This book was released on 1810 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before becoming President of the United States, John Quincy Adams was a Harvard professor of language, rhetoric and oratory, with this book comprising his lectures. Published in 1810 when Quincy Adams was in his forties, this work is a collection which demonstrates the breadth of knowledge which he passed to students eager to learn about the arts of speaking. The early lectures cover the basic principles of oratory and eloquence in the context of public speaking, and the origins of rhetoric as a celebrated art form in ancient Greece and Rome. It is clear that the author possesses an intense knowledge of the subject and its professional application. Later on in the text are more specific lectures, such as the importance of perfecting oratory for the courtroom, and the personal qualities a good speaker should cultivate. Keeping tight control of one's emotions when speaking or debating with others, and delivering compelling lectures from the church pulpit, are also discussed at length. Although this material is well over 200 years old with much of the language archaic by modern standards, the ideas and principles espoused by Quincy Adams remain both relevant and important to students and those working in fields where speech is vital.
