The Transformation of Political Speechmaking

Beschreibung

In a book that blends anecdote with analysis, Kathleen Hall Jamieson-author of the award -winning Packaging the Presidency-offers a perceptive and often disturbing account of the transformation of political speechmaking. Ranging from the classical orations of Cicero to the speeches of modern presidents from Truman to Reagan and of political players from Daniel Webster to Mario Cuomo, this lively, well-documented volume contains a wealth of insight into public speaking, contemporary characteristics of eloquence, and the future of political discourse in America.
