Review

"A fine book, and one that deserves study by anyone interested in the history of rhetoric."—Dr. Cliff Cunningham, sunnewsaustin.com Published On: 2023-01-23

“Daniel Ellis advances a fascinating argument that the Norfolk gentry during the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods drew from their formal rhetorical training in ways that met emerging practical needs, including the development of a collective identity and negotiations about land and legal matters, and also shaped the emergence of early modern rhetoric through those very practices. This complex and nuanced argument will be of interest not only to historians of rhetoric but also to a broader group of scholars in the fields of literary, literacy, rhetorical, and communication studies who are interested in the intersections of theories and practices of writing and communication and the material conditions in which those practices are situated.”—Lois Peters Agnew, author of Outward, Visible, Propriety: Stoic Philosophy and Eighteenth-Century British Rhetorics

“Gentry Rhetoric helps us to see how the rhetorical theory and the standard methods of teaching rhetoric were taken up or ignored by a large and influential class of people. Additionally, this study helps us to see people in their daily lives, using language to accomplish necessary tasks. Finally, this study explores the vital role that practical language use plays in identity formation and social cohesion. The gentry existed as a class because they developed a language and a set of literacy practices that they could share and use to address their day-to-day lives.”—Mark Garrett Longaker, author of Rhetorical Style and Bourgeois Virtue: Capitalism and Civil Society in the British Enlightenment
