Book Reviews 323 a Griffin, da Genette a Benveniste) mostrano inoltre come, nel suo lavoro, C. si sia orientato con estrema competenza tra i diversi teorici del linguaggio. In sintesi, ci troviamo di fronte a un lavoro che riesce a mostrare in modo molto equilibrato, per usare le parole dell'autore, "la densita epistemologica della nozione, antica e moderna, di eufemismo e la molteplicita di angolazioni a partire dalle quali, nel mondo greco, si potevano elaborare linguisticamente i tabu del sesso, della morte e della sfortuna in generale". Il risultato del volume di Menico Caroli e il riconoscimento del carattere non solo necessario ma anche inevitabile di uno strumento del linguag­ gio come l'eufemismo, che era in grado (e lo e ancora) di regolamentare la convivenza civile, anche se questo poteva avere, a volte, come risultato l'inevitabile conseguenza di modificare, anestetizzandola, la realta dei fatti.

Lecturing the Atlantic: Speech, Print, and an AngloAmerican Commons, 1830-1870. New York: Oxford University Press, 2017, xi + 245 pp. ISBN 9780190496791 This revisionary account of the transatlantic dimensions of American lyceum culture is a central contribution to the ongoing understanding of early American public speech. Its distinctive thesis reorients the notion, propagated in many claims about the American-ness of the lyceum from its nineteenth-century proponents into late twentieth-century scholarship, that the lyceum was a uniquely American institution. Wright grants that the lyceum certainly had a nationalist face, but not exclusively so—early American lecture culture is enriched by an appreciation of its transatlantic aspects, or what Wright calls an expressive "commons." Wright argues that, in fact, what many nineteenth-century audiences perceived as a contest between British forms and American ones was really a matrix for the devel­ opment of an international mode of educational expression. Wright's book is the most recent of a linked series of re-examinations of the role of speech in early American culture. Starting with Garry Wills' Lincoln at Gettysburg (1992), Jay Fleigelman's Declaring Independence (1993), and Gregory Clark and S. Michael Halloran s Oratorical Culture in NineteenthCentury America (1993), continuing through the work of Sandra Gustafson's Eloquence is Power (2000), Angela Ray's The Lyceum and Public Culture (2005), Carolyn Eastman's, A Nation of Speechifiers, (2009), and Elizabeth Dillon s 324 RHETORICA New World Drama (2014), there has been a large cohort of theoretically informed scholars studying the interplay of oral and written forms of expres­ sion in the early republic. Early approaches tended to follow the lines of Walter Ong's distinctions between orality and literacy, exploring the unique aspects of oral literary traditions. Since the work of Sandra Gustafson, how­ ever, many scholars have come to emphasize the interaction, of orally delivered and printed modes of expression. For example, the public lecture was heard on site but later summarized and quoted for reading audiences by newspapers. And, as Tom Wright notes throughout his book, lyceum speakers constantly recalibrated their performances with other media in mind, attempting to thwart easy summary by newspapers (in Emerson's case) or to exploit ensuing print coverage (such as Frederick Douglass) or to control negative press propa­ ganda (such as Thackeray). Wright's careful attention to the audience recep­ tion of popular lecturing throughout this text is an implicit nod toward the past two decades of scholarship that readers new to this material might miss, and which is prominently featured in the work of Ronald and Mary Zboray. Professor Wright has been an important figure in advancing this conver­ sation, both theoretically and institutionally. Wright organized a 2011 confer­ ence at the American Antiquarian Society from which he edited a collection of essays, The Cosmopolitan Lyceum (2013), that sought to put American lecture culture in a more global context. The stakes of this project were best described by Angela Ray's essay, which skeptically asked her peers how they were changing the idea that the lyceum was essentially an American project of "nation-building," the cultural work of unifying the country. Wright was also the...

Book Reviews Menico Caroli, Il velo delle parole. L'eufemismo nella lingua e nella storia dei Greet. Bari: Levante editori, 2017, 464 pp. ISBN 9788879496766 Parlare di eufemismi a proposito di alcuni autori della letteratura greca, come per esempio Aristofane, potrebbe sembrare un paradosso: come sa bene chi ha preso almeno una volta in mano il mitico saggio di Jeffrey Henderson dedicato alia 'musa maculata',1 Aristofane, e con lui tutti i poeti comici delYarchaia, diceva pane al pane e vino al vino. Eppure non sempre, tra un termine schiettamente osceno e il suo equivalente piu o meno pudico, chi scriveva commedie (o si dedicava ad altri generi letterari che, in modo analogo, non disprezzavano il greco non politically correct, come per esem­ pio il giambo o l'epigramma) sceglieva il primo. Lo dimostrano i numerosissimi esempi raccolti da Menico Caroli (d'ora in avanti C.) nel suo bellissimo libro II velo delle parole, dedicato al ruolo dell 'eufemismo nella lingua e nella cultura greca (ma con continui sconfinamenti nel mondo romano), nato da una tesi di laurea in Grammatica greca seguita da Francesco De Martino e discussa alEUniversita di Bari. C., che oggi insegna lingua e letteratura greca alEUniversita di Foggia, ha dedicato alia commedia la parte piu cospicua del suo voluminoso saggio (che, se si contano anche le died illustrazioni inserite in fondo al volume, sfiora le cinquecento pagine). L'ultimo capitolo, intitolato L'eufemismo e il comune senso del pudore, discute a lungo dei tentativi (nel complesso, peraltro, assai poco riusciti) di evitare, quando era possibile, il ricorso all'aischrologhia nelle tante scene comiche che riproducevano situazioni francamente oscene. Prima di Aristofane e dei suoi sodali, perd, C. ha affrontato anche altri autori (o meglio, altri ambiti semantici e culturali), dove l'eufemismo ha sem­ pre giocato un ruolo di primo piano. Nella seconda parte del libro, intitolata Lessico degli eufemismi greci, egli attraversa con sicurezza mondi differenti, passando dalla religione alia filosofia, dalla giurisprudenza alia storia, dalla politica al teatro, utilizzando come base documentaria non solo le testimonianze letterarie, ma anche quelle epigrafiche e papirologiche, che sono state spesso escluse dall'indagine dei linguisti. :J.

In questi due capitoli, dedicati alia modalita dell'interdizione magico-religiosa, C. affronta i temi legati al destino dell'uomo e, in particolare, alia morte (quel concetto che, molto piu degli altri, gli antichi - cosi come fanno anche i modemi - cercavano di velare grazie alia tecnica deU'eufemismo). A dimostrazione dell'ampiezza e della profondita della sua indagine c'e inoltre il fatto che, tra i tanti autori vagliati da C., ci sono anche figure secondarie , come per esempio la misteriosa Filenide, la scrittrice di Samo vissuta tra il IV e il III secolo a.C., alia quale si deve il piu antico manuale erotico della civilta occidental, conservato in modo purtroppo estremamente frammentario da un papiro ossirinchita,2 i cui pochi resti vengono discussi nel capitolo La permuta eufemistica del difetto, dedicato al "lessico dei vizi e dei difetti, di natura e di comportamento". Un altro autore poco noto e Damascio di Damasco, ultimo scolarca dell'Accademia filosofica di Atene, che tra il V e il VI secolo d.C. scrisse l'opera Sulla vita del filosofo Isidoro, a noi nota grazie alia 'recensione' che ne fece il patriarca Fozio nella sua Biblioteca-. nello stesso capitolo, C. ricorda come, secondo il suo biografo, Damascio rifiutasse sdegnoso tutti quegli accorgimenti linguistici che permettevano di ridimensionare i difetti e le debolezze degli altri, smascherando quindi la pericolosa vicinanza tra l...

328 RHETORICA de cinq siecles qui separe le pseudo-Platon et Maxime). L'ouvrage hesite, puisqu'il mentionne incidemment ces auteurs platoniciens, tout comme il hesite, pour les besoins de son objet, entre un traitement exclusivement philosophique et une approche plus rhetorique de la priere. On forme evidemment ces regrets parce que Ton y est conduit par l'aptitude d'AT a produire des syntheses eclairantes. Sans doute Porphyre et ses predecesseurs platoniciens n'avaient-ils pas lu Lacan, mais ils n'en tenaient pas moins lame pour structuree, consciemment et inconsciemment, comme un langage. Qu'elle ne soit pas exprimee en paroles, phonetiquement, ne change rien au fait qu'elle est foncierement logike (meme si elle se fait sans le truchement du logos, y compris du logos interieur, empreint de passion ; p. 158), qu'elle est de l'ordre du discours et que la pensee est toujours, depuis Platon, un discours, sinon un dialogue. AT nous invite a distinguer de maniere tranchee la priere silencieuse et phi­ losophique de la priere prononcee. Mais sans doute doit-on temperer cette opposition. La priere silencieuse en quoi consiste l'exercice theoretique de l'intellection, est une forme de communication, de partage et d'entente avec la divinite. C'est ce qui explique, pour n'en retenir qu'un exemple, que les demons soient designes par Porphyre comme des divinites intermediaries, des « transporters » de messages, qui font circuler prieres humaines ou pre­ scriptions divines en les transmettant d'un destinataire a l'autre. Comme le dit le debut de la longue sequence demonologique du De Abstinentia, en II 36 (§3), c'est la mission proprement angelique des demons que de transmettre des messages et des conseils. Parmi lesquels figurent les prieres. Le silence n'est aucunement suspension de l'expression et de la communication entre les hommes et les dieux. L'ouvrage d'AT connaitra la meme fortune que sa precedente synthese« demonologique », en devenant l'etude de reference sur son objet.

Chicago: Chicago University Press, 2015, xvii + 260 pp. ISBN 9780226278629 Scholarship on rhetoric in Plato habitually suffers from certain limita­ tions. While recent decades have seen profound revolutions in how Plato's dialogues are read and interpreted (inspiring profound changes in Plato Book Reviews 329 scholarship generally), these changes have had too little impact on how Plato's treatment of sophistry and rhetoric is conceived. Among the most important of these changes is the development of literary-dramatic readings of the dialogues, which consider the works' philosophical content by relation to their literary form as dialogues. According to this view, reading Plato entails an awareness of dialogue's distinctive capacity for masking authorial intention and voice. Such a reading resists the hasty assumption that the works put forth Plato's dogmatic or doctrinal positions for which Socrates was the presumed mouthpiece. Rather, as literary-dramatic representations, the dialogues give voice to indirect positions and hidden views. In spite of this enhanced sensitivity to Plato's authorial choices, there has been on the whole no significant alteration to the view that Plato held rhetoric in contempt or extreme distrust, believing it to be a sham art, a threat to true philosophy, and an inferior method to dialectic. Hence rhetoric is mere rhetoric—the lesser counterpart of philosophy, useful only for speaking to ignorant masses, for whom more rational methods are ineffectual. He may have offered marginal and grudging allowance for rhetoric in the Phaedrus dialogue, but only as an unrealizable ideal that sacrifices practical effectiveness. This leads to the second limitation. Studies of rhetoric in Plato often orbit around the two dialogues where rhetoric is treated most explicitly— the Gorgias and the Phaedrus—and neglect the relevance of many of Plato's other dialogues for understanding his conception of rhetoric, despite the fact that language, rhetoric, and sophistry are abiding (albeit implicit) concerns across the corpus of dialogues. Where these...

Book Reviews 325 Americans rioted on behalf their favorite American actor—was Quickly turned into a lecture hall in the following year where Emerson gave his lectures on "England," lectures that would become some of his most popular. Another hugely important part of Lecturing the Atlantic is its critical method of combining close reading with audience reception. Despite the many books discussing Emerson's lecture career, Wright has done exciting new work tracing newspaper responses to his lectures on England, and this full-dress chapter has the highly pleasing effect of conveying a genuinely open-ended examination of evidence, rather than forcefully trying to fit material to his thesis. Indeed, throughout the book, Wright seeks to unite careful readings of lecture texts with actual audience responses, plotting regional variations against local, national, and international politics, and squarely acknowledging counter-evidence where he finds it. Methodologically speaking, Wright provi­ des a solid balance of studying a focused number of primary texts and giving appropriate space to unfold their social context. Worth the price of admission itself are Wright's two introductory chap­ ters, which survey early nineteenth-century lecture culture more generally, sharing new information about the transatlantic roots of the lyceum, and argu­ ing that educational lecturing has yet to be fully integrated with studies of literature and theater culture. The beginning of the book is a concise statement of current research in the area for scholars interested in connecting lecture cul­ ture to their work. Granville Ganter St. John's University Queens, New York Timotin, Andrei, La priere dans la tradition platonicienne, de Platon a Proclus. Turnhout, Brepols [coll. Recherches sur les rhetoriques religieuses ], 2017, 296 pp. Andrei Timotin (AT par la suite) publie un ouvrage qui obeit a une methode deja eprouvee dans son precedent ouvrage, lui aussi ecrit en fran^ais, La demonologie platonicienne : histoire de la notion de daimon de Platon aux derniers neoplatoniciens, paru a Leyden chez Brill en 2012 ; une methode de recherche a la fois thematique et conceptuelle, qui procede par examens successifs de textes. L'ouvrage « demonologique » procedait ainsi chronologiquement , en suivant Telaboration d'une reflexion sur les demons a la fois extremement developpee par les neoplatoniciens, mais aussi et en meme temps ancree dans la doctrine platonicienne. La presente etude procede de maniere semblable, en proposant d'examiner les definitions et les usages philosophiques de la priere dans la tradition platonicienne, depuis le divin Platon jusqu'a Proclus. Apres une introduction, sept chapitres se succedent chronologiquement et traitent respectivement de la priere dans les dialogues 326 RHETORICA de Platon; dans l'apocryphe (et hellenistique) Second Alcibiade ; chez Maxime de Tyr ; chez Plotin ; chez Porphyre ; chez Jamblique ; enfin, chez Proclus. L'ensemble du volume est homogene, les chapitres sont d'une egale impor­ tance et procedent selon une meme trame, puisque AT s'attache a chaque fois a montrer comment la reflexion sur la priere procede depuis Platon sur le double registre de la critique de la priere ordinaire et celui de la conception a nouveaux frais d'une priere veritablement philosophique, c'est-a-dire savante et silencieuse, soucieuse d'honorer la divinite sans rien (ou presque) lui demander. AT montre de fagon convaincante que la priere est une activite cultuelle que Platon defend, en depit meme de toutes les errances dont font preuve ses contemporains, en matiere de cultes et de conceptions du divin. C'est avant tout (comme l'etablissent les Lois, et plus particulierement leur livre X dont AT restitue l'argument) comme un element reglemente du culte public (Platon, rappelons-le, interdit tout culte prive dans la cite des Magnetes), qui a sa necessite pourvu que la priere soit a jamais expurgee de toute forme de demande. Qu'un etre vivant passible, souvent pathetique, se pense en mesure de demander, sinon de contraindre par la croyance, une divinite impassible qui exerce eternellement une activite noetique, n'est pas concevable . Il faut done promouvoir une nouvelle forme de priere, dont AT montre bien comment, dans les dialogues de Platon, elle est distinguee des pratiques communes tant selon l'objet que selon la forme. Selon l'objet parce que la priere de culte public est done conservee, pourvu qu...

Book Reviews 227 compelling theoretically, the case study did not fully examine the implications of the project's reliance on homonormativity. Bessette concludes with two provocations for the future of queer retroactivism. First, she argues that a near-future task may be to challenge the centrality of corporations in digital media production. And second, she follows Carla Freccero in noting that the hauntological past must be heard, on its own terms. Bessette's work with a variety of grassroots lesbian archives is an engaging read and offers a useful approach to historical scholarship. But I felt that she did not spend enough time parsing out the affordances and limitations of grassroots archives in relation to their institutional counterparts. Fittingly, Bessette's most important insight is her notion of retroactivism, a concept that can hopefully open up more space for reconsidering archival identification, queer or otherwise, into the future. Morgan DiCesare University of Iowa Peter A. O'Connell, The Rhetoric of Seeing in Attic Forensic Oratory. Austin: University of Texas Press, 2017, 282 pp. ISBN 9781477311684 The close connections between rhetorical and theatrical performance as two of the major types of civic spectacle in Classical Athens are well esta­ blished, but we are hampered by the fact that our knowledge of courtroom practice is largely dependent on the surviving texts of the speeches. Unlike their Roman counterparts, the surviving fourth-century Greek treatises have little to say about delivery or about the type of spectacular effects alluded to in Attic comedy and in the speeches themselves, which creates a challenge to the modem researcher. Peter O'Connell's book, based on his PhD disser­ tation, is one of several recent studies to take up that challenge1 and is dis­ tinguished by its focus on sight and visual effects in Athenian trials. O'Connell's book stands out for its focus on the role of vision, both physical and mental, and metaphors of sight in forensic oratory (with a brief foray into the funeral oration). It makes an important contribution to the study of vivid language and visual effects as an integral part of the process of persuasion and underlines the continuing importance of these tools through modem comparisons. The author's solution to the lack of theoretical discussions contemporary with the speeches is to draw principally on an impressively wide range of ancient speeches, giving close readings of ^ee, for example, N. Villaceque, Spectateurs de Paroles: Deliberation democratique et theatre a Athenes a Vepoque classique (Rennes: Presses Universitaires de Rennes, 2013) and A. Serafim, Attic Oratory and Performance (London : Routledge, 2017). 228 RHETORICA selected passages (summaries of all the speeches discussed are given in an invaluable appendix). The astute close readings of these passages are supple­ mented by appeals - made with all due caution — to the critical and theoreti­ cal discussions of the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The result sheds a new light on the functioning of judicial oratory as a multi-sensory persuasive per­ formance, though the nature of the material inevitably raises some questions. All the major passages are quoted in the Greek and in the author's own English versions. The choice of a very literal translation style serves to clarify the sense of the words discussed but at the occasional cost of fluidity. The first of the book's three parts asks what was visible to the jury within the courtroom, analysing passages that comment on the impact of the presence and physical appearance of the various parties to the case in the courtroom and of material evidence. Against the background of the close association of vision and knowledge in the Greek language, the second section analyses the importance of vision and of metaphors of vision in Athenian law, forensic oratory, and, beyond the courts, in classical Greek philosophical and medical texts. It is here that O'Connell, through citations from Sophists such as Protagoras, Antiphon, and Gorgias, raises the vital epis­ temological question of how juries could decide upon events they had not themselves witnessed. This is backed up by an illuminating analysis of the lan­ guage of visibility in Antiphon and in Gorgias' Defense of Palamedes, which explores the challenge of proving the non-existence...

Book Reviews 229 O'Connell is very effective when analysing the use of vivid language to make the audience imagine scenes they have not witnessed themselves, dis­ cussing Aeschines' passage on the sack of Thebes, Demosthenes on Phokis, and Lycurgus on the scene at Athens after the catastrophic military defeat at Chaeronea. His analyses make use of both ancient criticism and modem lit­ erary tools. Taken together, they make a strong case for accepting the ancient commentators' evaluation of these passages as able to make the audience "see" the scene in imagination. The most stimulating part of this final section however is the final chapter on "shared spectatorship" with its examples of the interaction between the mental images of past actions or absent persons created by the orators' language and the actual sights of the courtroom. O'Connell shows how the orators encourage a type of mental superimposition (my term) of the idea of the sight evoked - and created - by the orator onto the accused present in the courtroom. This is particularly satisfying as an example of actual and virtual sights being used as a sustained strategy throughout a speech and underlines the multiple possibilities for manipulation. One area that could have been addressed in more detail is the sugges­ tion on p. 32 that appearance—real or imagined—might spark a process of enthymematic reasoning (the accused has the commonly accepted characte­ ristics of a murderer/adulterer therefore it is likely that he is guilty as char­ ged). But this rich and stimulating study has a great deal to offer specialists in ancient and modem rhetoric and in ancient Greek literature and culture. Ruth Webb Universite de Lille Harold Parker and Jan Maximilian Robitzsch, eds., Speeches for the Dead: Essays on Plato's Menexenus, (Beitrage zur Altertumskunde 368), Berlin/Boston: De Gruyter, 2018. 202 pp. ISBN 9783110573978 Plato's Menexenus is a rhetorical masterpiece. That, at any rate, seems to have been the judgment of generations of Athenians, who, Cicero tells us, had someone recite Socrates' funeral oration annually (Orator 151). The speech can be stirring, especially when Socrates speaks in the voice of the dead soldiers and urges their sons to lives of virtue. But is it sincere? Before he delivers the speech, Socrates claims that it is easy to give funeral orations, since all you have to do is praise Athenians to Athenians. The speech misrepresents historical events and doesn't even reflect Socrates own sentiments, since he attributes it to Pericles mistress Aspasia. To make matters worse, Socrates seems to be delivering the speech years after he, and probably Aspasia as well, had died. The puzzles of the Menexenus have no easy answer. Unable to resolve its contradictions in a satisfactory t47av, scholars have tended to focus on its relationship with other surviving 230 RHETORICA Athenian funeral orations and with the rest of Plato's works. This thoughtprovoking volume is no exception. The contributors approach the text from the perspectives of philosophy and political thought, but their argu­ ments will also be inspiring to readers interested in rhetoric in Plato and in Classical Athens. After a brief introduction, Speechesfor the Dead reprints Charles H. Kahn's 1963 article, "Plato's Funeral Oration: The Motive of the Menexenus" Kahn argues that the Menexenus is a political pamphlet, expressing Plato's dislike of the policies of Pericles and his successors, especially the capitulation to Persia in the King's Peace of 386. The eight new essays in Speeches for the Dead are influenced not so much by Kahn's specific arguments as by his approach, which poses five questions about the Menexenus: Why Aspasia? Why the anachronisms? Why the historical distortions? Why did Plato write a funeral oration? Why did that oration continue to be delivered years after it was written? Only some of the authors invoke these questions directly, but a fundamental "why" lies behind each of the essays. They all seek to explain why the Menexenus is the way it is by treating it as a work of serious Platonic philosophy. In "Reading the Menexenus Intertextually," Mark Zelcer takes seriously Socrates' claim that Aspasia composed the speech he delivers by gluing together pieces she had left...

Peter A. O'Connell The University of Georgia Robert R. Edwards, Invention and Authorship in Medieval England (Interventions: New Studies in Medieval Culture), Columbus: The Ohio State Press, 2017. 230 pp. ISBN 9780814213407 It is a philological distinction commonly invoked by historians of rhetoric that invention, rhetoric's first and arguably foremost canon, has something of a double meaning. The Latin invenire can mean "to find" or "to come upon," or it can mean "to create" or "to contrive." In Invention and Authorship in Medieval England, Robert Edwards shows how medieval authors invented (in both senses of the term) authorial identities that wor­ ked within accepted traditions of literary production and interpretation, and also sometimes questioned or subverted those traditions, showing that "authorship is at once rhetorical and literary, historical and poetic" (xi). Yet, while Edwards observes that rhetorical theory was an important ele­ ment of literary production and of identification with distinct traditions, the relationship between the literary, the rhetorical, and distinct models of authorship remains comparatively underexplored. The result is a deep and compelling literary analysis of canonical English authors such as Marie de France, Chaucer, Gower, and Lydgate, but a somewhat incom­ plete discussion of the intersection of rhetoric and poetics in English literary culture. This incompleteness, however, should not dissuade the prospective reader from engaging with this text. Edwards' deep knowledge of classical and medieval culture is evident throughout all of the chapters of Invention and Authorship in Medieval England. Indeed, the relationship of each literary figure to classical and vernacular traditions is of paramount concern to Edwards, as he notes that "the agency . . . working in medieval English texts consciously foregrounds the decision to write within traditions and conventions" (xv), meaning that authors only achieve authorship by "consciously placing themselves through their works within the interpretive structure of a literary system" (xvi). Each chapter, then, endeavors to place each literary figure within such a liter­ ary system. Chapter 2, for instance, demonstrates how Marie de France "exer­ cises agency to revise her received materials [e.g. primarily those of Ovid] from popular and learned sources and to create a hybrid classicism in which she operates as a counterpart and conscious alternative to a Latin auetor" (34). In general, Edwards' claims in regard to such systems are well-defended; for instance, he thoroughly defends his assertion that "in Ovid's Book Reviews 233 erotodidactic poems . . . Marie finds a topic and conceptual frame for invention and authorship rather than rhetorical adornment and learned allusion" (40). This assessment is itself valuable, as it counters common readings of Marie (and indeed, many other medieval authors) that reduce their receptions and appropriations of classical literary culture to derivate borrowings, as Edwards himself observes (39). Likewise, Edwards' discus­ sion of Gower and his use of elements of scribal and textual culture—such as the accessus,- prologues, paratexts, and others (63-104)—is well-supported and fascinating. Yet, some other chapters, such as the section on Chaucer, do not fully account for the potential influence of contemporary theories of rhetoric and poetics that would have been instrumental for defining attitudes toward lit­ erary authorship. This omission is striking, first, because Edwards observes the connections between literary authorship and rhetoric in the introductory chapters of his text, and second, because his incorporation of scholarship by historians of rhetoric such as Rita Copeland and James J. Murphy suggests a knowledge of this sub-field and how it may have influenced English literary attitudes. For example, while Edwards observes that Chaucer is associated with a catalogue of works by his contemporaries, as well as that these works are largely "generated through forms of poetic imitation," (110) it was sur­ prising to see that he made little connection to the tradition of the medieval artes poetriae (aside from a reference in a footnote citing Murphy, which men­ tioned Geoffrey of Vinsauf and Matthew of Venddme). Arguably these artes represent an early example of the codification of contemporary medieval poets such as Alan of...

Book Reviews Jean Bessette, Retroactivism in the Lesbian Archives: Composing Pasts and Futures. Carbondale: Southern Illinois University Press, 2017, 202 pp. ISBN 9780809336234 Since queer, feminist, and rhetorical scholars have "returned" to the archive over the past twenty years, Bessette's book brings queer and feminist archival theories to bear on rhetorical studies. Bessette is concerned with how lesbian collectives have composed a past for themselves and oriented themselves toward new possibilities for identification that could challenge "then-present social and political denigrations of same-sex desire and rela­ tionships" (2). The result is a retooling of familiar rhetorical concepts for the study and historiographic consideration of queer and feminist collective pasts. Bessette's rewriting of archival logics through rhetorical concepts is useful for both queer rhetoricians and wider archival studies. Particularly, her read­ ing of identification through retroactivism and the notion of "documenting the search" offer new approaches for any archival engagement (125). The book begins with the theoretical insights of queer and feminist archival scholarship before turning to specific technologies in each chapter that offer insights into the retroactivist impulses of lesbian rhetors and lesbian communities. Bessette begins by drawing on Lucas Hilderbrand's "retroactivism," a concept that Hilderbrand uses to engage his longings for a personal and nostalgic queer past. Bessette links retroactivism to the account of identifica­ tion given by Kenneth Burke to argue that grassroots collectives sought the "displacement—and replacing—of pejorative accounts of lesbianism with new versions of the past" (10). These revisions of the past were marshalled to produce different definitions of lesbianism and open space for alternative futures. She argues that rhetorical studies, and particularly Burke's under­ standing of identification, already offer the requisite tools for engagements with queer archives. Chapter one contends that Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon's influential book LesbianANoman is itself an archive. Bessette reads the short personal stories contained in LesbianANoman as anecdotes that demonstrate the ephemeraUty of the queer archive (26). She argues that these anecdotes were arranged to produce a respectable white middle-class narrative of lesbian identity, in line with the goals of its authors who were leaders in the Daughters of Bilitis. This identity was framed to challenge dominant homophobic social narratives, and Bessette centers the function of exclusion in identification. Rhetorica, Vol. XXXVhl, Issue 2, pp. 225-234.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.1525/rh.2019.38.2.225 226 RHETORICA Whereas chapter one addresses a printed text as archive, chapter two turns to a "place-based" understanding of archives through a reading of the Lesbian Herstory Archives (LHA) and the June L. Mazer Archives (JLMA). Bessette argues that classification in the LHA, an archive which accepts "any­ thing a lesbian has touched," operates as a "rhetorical topos" which "blurs the boundaries between archival categories, creating the conditions for a genera­ tive, flexible identity" (61). Bessette contends that the LHA offers the possibil­ ity of making seemingly disparate connections through browsing. Bessette then turns to the JLMA and a photograph collage from Ester Bentley that sits in view outside of the domain of a particular collection. Due to its position, she argues that these photos instill in visitors a sense of possibility for historical connection that crosses the categories of the archive. The chapter concludes with a brief review of the JLMA's recent partnership with UCLA. Bessette suggests that the queemess of the JLMA's collection may be lost when viewing their materials in UCLA's straight, institutional reading room, a point I believe needs additional substantiation. Chapter three turns to documentary films and their "fabrication of the past" (95). Bessette reads these films as allowing for a composition of lesbian histories that challenge "dependencies upon lesbian history for present sexual identification" (97). Bessette analyzes five historiographic lesbian films through a relevant multimodal rhetorical strategy. The films and their respective strategies include "unstable identity categories" in The Female...

94 RHETORICA capacita di attualizzare; le osservazioni etimologiche e filologiche e, infine, il ricorso al commento "interno" del testo, commentare cioé il de inventione col de inventione stesso (e, in 7 casi, con la Rhetorica ad Herennium). A seguiré si trova un esame sistemático della tradizione manoscritta del commento (cap. 3) e un'analisi delle relazioni tra i manoscritti (cap. 4). Nella costituzione del testo B. distingue due recensiones, alpha (costituita da cinque manoscritti, il cui piú importante é Túnico integro: H) e beta (sostanzialmente un solo manoscritto : T), ma quella che viene pubblicata in effetti é la recensio alpha, Túnica riconducibile integralmente direttamente a M., mentre beta é sostantanzialmente un collage di piú commenti, incluso quello di M. presente in alpha. Questa sezione si conclude con una Bibliografía selezionata e una Nota al testo, nella quale si rende conto dei criteri di presentazione del testo cri­ tico. Nella seconda parte del volume si trova il testo critico vero e proprio delle glose. II testo viene presentato da M. in una facies continua; inoltre, per agevolare la lettura, é stato formattato con capoversi e paragrafi facendo riferimento alia divisione in libri, capitoli e paragrafi del de inventione secondo Tedizione teubneriana di E. Stroebel. Gli apparati in calce al testo sono tre. II primo é l'apparato critico vero e proprio, di tipo positivo (nel quale cioé viene in primo luogo presentata la variante accolta nel testo cri­ tico); nel secondo e nel terzo si trovano soltanto alcuni cenni relativi rispettivamente alie fonti e alia fortuna (entrambi questi aspetti vengono piú ampiamente trattati nel cap. 2 dei Prolegomena). Chiude il volume una doppia serie di indici: quella dei manoscritti e quella dei nomi. Francesco Caparrotta, Bagheria (Palermo) Mari Lee Mifsud, Rhetoric and the Gift: Ancient Rhetorical Theory and Contemporary Communication (Pittsburgh: Duquesne University Press, 2015), 186pp. ISBN: 9780820704852 Mari Lee Mifsud's elegant and illuminating excavation of the Homeric references in Aristotle's rhetorical theory demonstrates the enduring value of the notion of the gift for the study of rhetoric. It compellingly introduces an alternative metaphor to the familiar logics of rhetoric as an economy, a war, or a cheap trick. In so doing, it not only offers contemporary rhetoricians a ver­ satile hermeneutic that connects rhetorical scholarship to other academic pro­ jects but also reminds us of rhetoric's centrality in the social choreography of Aristotle's time as well as our own. The present review of Rhetoric and the Gift is inspired and informed by a 2016 tribute panel, organized by Marie-Odile Hobeika for the National Communication Association's annual conference, during which panelists Jane S. Sutton, John Poulakos, Nathan A. Crick, and myself offered commentary and critique. Explicating classical poiesis in rhetorike, Mifsud traces the concept of the gift (and gifting) in two interdependent registers: the gift of the pre-figuration Reviews 95 call that demands a response, and, second, the gift in the response, articulated through figuration. With attention to the registers' tension, she challenges Maicel Mauss s widely cited sociological study, which characterizes gifting as a hierarchical negotiation of power through "prestations," the metainstitutional practices that compel gift recipients "to make a return." Mifsud asks, "Can we imagine giving, not figured through cycles of obligatory return?" (p. 143). In her response to this question, we have the essence of Mifsud's contribution to rhetorical theory, for she "explores rhetoric not only at the level of the artful response hut [also] at the level of the call and response, or said another wav, at the level of the gift and rhetoric prior to and in excess of art" (p. 3). To develop the idea of rhetoric as the gift that exceeds art, Mifsud invokes Diane Davis s "preoriginary' rhetoricitv," the non-relation in which a call to "inessential solidarity " is issued. This call is by definition from an Other; or it may come as a gift from far aw ay and long ago. Like Davis, Mifsud hopes that "the theory of the gift offers a theory' of human solidarity" (p. 4), as long as it is able to resist the practices that conventionally define rhetoric: strategy, persuasion, deliberation, and consensus. Homer's gift to rhetoric, to Aristotle...

Reviews 211 Now for a catalog of some possible objections. Since Dow places sub­ stantial weight on Rhetoric 1354a 13—"for it is only the proofs that belong to the art, other things are mere accessories" (p. 40)—his interpretation of Aristotle's Rhetoric is admittedly limited (p. 9). Dow can pay little attention to epideictic speech, for instance, or to the bulk of Rhetoric, Book III. At the same time Dow is invested in Aristotle's coherent "theory of the emotions" (p. 145), which obligates him to admittedly strained arguments including some speculation about what Aristotle "should hove said" when it comes to the passionate status of friendship and hostility, for instance (pp. 153-4, italics in the original). More lenient "dialectical investigations" of the pas­ sionate phenomena in question are studiously avoided when Dow goes to work (p. 145), and thus he is forced to reconcile the seemingly irreconcilable. Aristotle's Book I carpenter's rule simile ("for one shouldn't warp the juror by bringing him into anger or envy or pity" as "that would be like someone warping the rule he is about to use" 1354a24-6) knocks up against the entirety of Book II and against Dow's principal claim about the legitimacy of passionate rhetoric. Finally, Dow's normative and representational take on Aristotelian emotion comes at a cost, including a social take on Aristote­ lian emotion that better explains how social status structures the emotions that Aristotle treats. (Konstan observes how, for instance, "the capacity for anger depends on status, and where power is unevenly distributed between men and women, anger will be similarly asymmetrical"; see The Emotions of the Ancient Greeks: Studies in Aristotle and Classical Literature, p. 60). All this is to say that Dow's philosophical mission has its disadvanta­ ges from the perspective of rhetoric per se. But I hope it is clear how Dow's orientation toward philosophical precision and coherence offers all sorts of new considerations for non-philosophers as well—far too many to mention in this brief book review. Dow's defense of rhetoric compels anyone inter­ ested to consider each careful step and conclusion, even if disagreement is the end result. The book thus invites just the sort of passionate deliberation Dow appreciates in Aristotle, and in this way Dow winds up appearing as just the sort of rhetorician he would endorse. Henceforth, scholars working on passion and persuasion in Aristotle's Rhetoric should look forward to debating Dow, as they will be obligated to do so in any case. Daniel M.

Style: An Introduction to History, Theory, Research, and Pedagogy.Anderson, SC: Parlor Press; Fort Collins, CO: WAC Clear­ ing house, 2015. 264 pp. ISBN: 9781602356122 When people talk about style in rhetoric and composition, they often view it in dichotomous terms. On the one hand style is often viewed in the context of a very prescriptive grammarian tradition. On the other hand, style is talked about as a form of rhetorical composition. In Style. An 212 RHETORIC A Introduction to History, Theory, Research, and Pedagogy, Brian Ray successfully places style in the long history of rhetoric. Alongside Kate Ronald's essay ("Style: The Hidden Agenda in the Composition Classroom," 1999), Paul Butler's book (Out of Style, 2008), and Mike Duncan and Star M. Vanguri's edited collection (The Centrality of Style, 2013), Ray's book may be one of the most important written on style in the last twenty years. Style is broken up into nine chapters and ancillary materials, including a glossary and an annotated bibliography of major works for further reading. With a book that traces the history of style from Ancient Greece through contemporary scholarship on style, it is impossible to fully describe the text, but I will examine several key features of this book. Ray begins his work defining the major threads of stylistic definition and research. Since "style" is used in a multitude of ways (the author calls it "A Cacophony of Definitions"), Ray explores "the major modes of thought" (p. 16) pertaining to style together with their research avenues. For scholars approaching style for the first time, anyone...
