Rereading Aristotle's Rhetoric / edited by Alan G. Gross and Arthur E. Walzer.
In this collection edited by Alan G. Gross and Arthur E. Walzer, scholars in communication, rhetoric and composition, and philosophy seek to "reread" Aristotle's Rhetoric from a purely rhetorical perspective.

Some explore the ways in which the Rhetoric explicates the natur.
