Racconti di retorica: rappresentazioni della retorica in atto in pagine della narrativa moderna

Abstract

«Nota an end but a beginning». In a novel written by Achille Campanile, a teacher of rhetoric explains this formula which then he applies to persuade his pupils of his method. The presence of orators and of rhetorical speeches in the modern narrative is very interesting to analyze and to compare with the opinion people have about rhetoric and his use in everyday life, from political speech to eulogy.
