Rhetoric and the Republic: Politics, Civic Discourse, and Education in Early America

Beschreibung

Contemporary efforts to revitalise the civic mission of higher education in America have revived an age-old republican tradition of teaching students to be responsible citizens, particularly through the study of rhetoric, composition, and oratory. This book examines the political, cultural, economic, and religious agendas that drove the various - and often conflicting - curricula and contrasting visions of what good citizenship entails.
