Reviews 207 some women to break the written silence of earlier times"(Travitsky, xviii). How much more accurate would Pender's introduction have been, had she used the modesty trope of conversation instead of the combative figure of the crow. Jane Donawerth University ofMaryland Lois Peters Agnew, Thomas De Quincey: British Rhetoric's Romantic Turn, Carbondale: Southern Illinois University Press, 2012. 165 pp., ISBN: 978-0-8043-3148-2 Although rhetoricians often stress the lack of innovation in early nine­ teenth-century rhetorical theory and practice, Lois Agnew shows through the case of Romantic author Thomas De Quincey that rhetoric was still a ver­ satile resource for literary authors in the period. De Quincey, best known for Confessions of an English Opium-Eater (1822), redefines rhetoric as "a detached investigation of multiple perspectives" (p. 10), and Agnew examines his mul­ tifaceted theory and practice in her monograph. Extending her conclusion from Outward, Visible Propriety (2008), Agnew approaches De Quincey as an example of "rhetoric's transition to the modern era" from a unifying civic discourse to varied arts of style (p. 1). In this monograph, she builds on Jason Camlot's argument that "a previously coherent tradition of prag­ matic rhetoric is ... redistributed into the diverse localized sites of individual [nineteenth-century] periodicals" and traces how De Quincey revises the the­ ory and practice of rhetoric in his career as a magazine contributor? Because De Quincey demonstrates that rhetoric "need not be connected to practical decision making," Agnew argues that he reinvents rhetoric for the modern world as a form of intellectual inquiry and multiperspectival display (p. 15). For Agnew, De Quincey is a rhetorician because he treats writing as social interaction even though he divorces rhetoric from political ends: His "perspective on language and public life is grounded in classical rhetorical traditions, yet radically distinct from those traditions in ways that reflect his attention to the cultural circumstances in which he finds himself" (p. 2). De Quincey, according to Agnew, synthesizes classical rhetoric, eighteenthcentury Scottish rhetorics, and Romantic poetics. Because he combines tradi­ tions to create an art of rhetoric that orchestrates multiple perspectives, Ag­ new compares De Quincey's "dialogic" rhetoric to the theories of twentiethcentury literary critic Mikhail Bakhtin. Like Bakhtin's ideal novelist, De Quincey "produces a vision of rhetoric ... in which the speaker/writer interacts constantly with listeners who hold differing points of view and 1 J- Camlot, Style and the Nineteenth-Century British Critic: Sincere Mannerisms (Aldershot, England: Ashgate, 2008), 14. 208 RHETORICA imaginatively integrates those perspectives" (p. 13). De Quincey anticipates the multivocal techniques of Victorian fiction when he extends rhetoric to the interplay of multiple perspectives in early nineteenth-century Britain. In the first chapter, Agnew introduces De Quincey and the Romantic era to rhetoricians. She makes a convincing case for the ubiquity and utility of rhetoric in this period: Not only was rhetoric an available resource for classically-educated authors, but they also needed rhetoric to respond to new audiences, publishing practices, and political situations. Agnew recounts elements of De Quincey's life that are familiar to Romanticists, like his piecemeal education, opium addiction, and tense relationship with William Wordsworth, and explains that De Quincey responds to a society "embroiled in the conflicting impulses of market-driven production and intellectual play" (p. 41). The instabilities of early nineteenth-century British society demanded a rhetorical approach to authorship and a reconsideration of rhetoric's functions, and De Quincey's life and writing exemplify these changes. In the next three chapters, Agnew examines De Quincey's "dialogic" rhetoric. She "track[s] key themes that emerge through the course of De Quincey's writings," including an embrace of open, philosophical questions over limited, political cases; an emphasis on the "eddying of thoughts" over the communication of facts; and a conversational dynamic that makes readers fellow participants in the discourse (p. 103). Agnew recovers his rhetorical theory from scattered, occasional essays like a review of Whatley's Elements ofRhetoric (1828), "Style" (1840), and "On Language" (1847). While De Quincey performs what he theorizes in these pieces, Agnew applies his theories to famous works such as;Confessions. For example, he "creates a narrative in which the...

Reviews Gabriele Pedidla (a cura di), Parole al potare: Discorsi politici Italian!, Milano: Rizzoli BUR, 2011. CCXXII + 870 pp. ISBN 978-88-17-02520-1 The review of this volume was commended to the late Giorgio Tedel (1950- -2011), Professor of Political Communication at the University ofPavia. One ofthe youngest of his colleagues accepted to write the review, which is dedicated to the memory of Giorgio Fedel [note of the Associate Editor]. Tema del volume sono le peculiarita del linguaggio della leadership politica in Italia, analizzate attraverso una corposa rassegna di 61 discorsi pronunciati alia Camera dei Deputati dalle principali personality che hanno ricoperto ruoli di vertice, dall'Unita all'avvio della "Seconda Repubblica" (1994). In questo settore di ricerca, se, per un verso, numeróse indagini hanno isolate alcuni attributi specifici dell'oratoria politica in corrispondenza delle differenti scansioni storiche (una retorica Iontana dal discorrere quotidiano della grande maggioranza dei sudditi del Regno in época post-unitaria, oppure il crescente ricorso al cosiddetto "politichese" da parte dei leaders dei partiti di massa, specialmente democristiani, negli anni Sessanta e Settanta del Novecento); vanno anche sottolineati, nonostante la ricchezza delle informazioni , il ridotto tasso di interdisciplinarietà nello stesso prolifico filone di studi e la scarsa cumulatività dei risultati ottenuti. All'interno di questo quadro, il volume curato da Gabriele Pedullà (d'ora in poi GP) prefigura meritoriamente un significativo avanzamento verso la costruzione di una tipología del discorso politico in grado di tagliare trasversalmente rispetto ai confini disciplinari. Lo testimonia l'articolato saggio che introduce l'antologia dei testi, Breve storia dell'oratoria politica nelTItalia imita (pp. IX-CCXXII). Al centro dell'interesse di GP sta il rapporto tra letteratura e politica, focalizzato sull'oratoria politica qua genere letterario. Grazie a tale punto di vista, GP documenta l'affiorare di una pluralité di fenomeni comunicativi: 1) l'ambizione dei politici a padroneggiare la lingua italiana alia maniera dei classici, cioè a plasmare un discorso rispondente ai canon; stilistici propri dell'opera letteraria di pregio; 2) il progressivo distacco della classe politica repubblicana dai topoi dell'arte declamatoria; infine, negli sviluppi piú recenti, 3) la vacuité della retorica politica denunziata degli intellettuali, ovvero 4) il drástico mutamento di contenuto e modalité di trasmissione dei Riietorica, Vol. XXXII, issue 1, pp. 75-99, ISSN 0734-8584, electronic ISSN 15338541 . 02014 by The International Society for the History of Rhetoric.

DOI. 10.1525/RH.2014.32.1.75. 76 RHETORICA messaggi politici destinati ai cittadini, per effetto della tecnología applicata alie comunicazioni. In questa successione di eventi, la cesura fondamentale è rappresentata dalla seconda guerra mondiale: dal 1861 al 1945 si dispiega una lunga fase il cui denominatore comune risiede nell'intendere la "politica corne lettera­ tura", secondo un duplice significato, l'uno particolare e l'altro generale. Cominciando dal primo, GP allude alla frequenza eccezionale con la quale, in questo arco temporale, eminenti figure di letterati e di artisti apparvero sul proscenio politico, per nomina regia al Senato (Manzoni, Verdi, Carducci, Fogazzaro e Croce, tra gli altri) oppure attraverso la discesa diretta nell'agone e Felezione alia Camera (da De Sanctis a D'Annunzio). Si tratta di conseguenze della politica di massa post-Rivoluzione Francese, che implica sia lo slittamento del potere decisionale dalla corte all'assemblea deliberante (Parlamento), sia il mutamento nei criteri di selezione áe\Yélite (dal favore del sovrano alia regola elettorale, che rende decisiva la capacité di conquistare il sostegno dei votanti). Entro i confini nazionali, entrambi i dinamismi si palesarono con inedita forza all'indomani della proclamazione del Regno d'Italia: richiamando il dispregio con il quale Max Weber qualificava il connubio tra lettere e politica (nei termini di "ascesa del de­ magogo"), GP descrive con dovizia di particolari la raffinata eloquenza con la quale scrittori, poeti e artisti approdarono al seggio parlamentare, "Tutti certamente giunti a guadagnarsi la fiducia dei votanti anche grazie alie doti di fini dicitori" (p. XXIV). Agli albori della nostra storia unitaria, i confronti verbali ospitati...

Reviews 113 to emergent communities, heretical selves: mystics or Ranters, for instance. Instead, lapses into heretical selfhood are signaled by the emergence of affect, which requires subvention by the inarticulate, as if emotions had to wait for the inchoate in order to appear. For example, as both character and play, Hamlet "foregrounds" the inarticulate as a "cultural construct," as a "means by which 'feeling' could surface," and as a principle of inter-subjective vulnerability (176). Perceiving this counterintuitive pulsion at work, seeing the inarticulate in a "more positive light," requires an exploration of a Tudor "aesthetics of feeling," Mazzio contends (180). Nowhere does she offer such an aesthetics. Rather, she relies on contemporary literary theory for many of her historical arguments, and readers are frequently directed to Eve Sedgwick or Lacan, Jean-Luc Nancy or Hegel in lieu of evidence from the period. Yet The Inarticulate Renaissance succeeds: Mazzio focuses our attention on the suitability of English for worship and ceremony, scripture and poetry, on the fortunes of theatrical mumbling and print polemic, on audiences as 'assemblies,' above all on what Tomkis in Lingua calls a "tunes without sense, words inarticulate." However, in some ways, Mazzio's inquiry is reminiscent of the decline of rhetorical engagement late in the period she studies, of the ways in which past thinkers distrusted rhetoric as a guide to both speech and practice, of the ways oratio was emptied of ratio. In this ambitious, learned work, Mazzio is equally wary: a focus on the inarticulate is symptomatic of distrust. But it also signs a trend in contemporary scholarship. Boredom, ennui, anxiety, and now the inarticulate are experiencing a renaissance, in part because current perceptions of (early) modernity are conditioned by its failures, by its perils not its promises. One promise was transparency—of both method and communication—and 'words inarticulate' court opacity. But as 'feeling' rather than 'telling,' as a rhetoric that develops and refines a deepening commitment to pathos, inarticulation necessarily assumes the eloquence of the age.

Tuscaloosa: University of Alabama Press, 2010. xi + 274 pp. ISBN 978-0-8173-1690-7 In 1690, as the Enlightenment was just glimmering on the English hori­ zon, John Locke calumniated rhetoric (Essay Concerning Human Understand­ ing III.10). In 1790, as the Enlightenment's dusk settled over Koenigsberg, Immanuel Kant similarly decried the art (Critique of Pure Judgment 1.53). Though a century and a continent apart, they expressed a common disdain for rhetoric. Notably absent from this account are the American continents. Recent scholarship, however, finds that the American Enlightenment yielded a wealth of innovative rhetorical practice, placing public argument at the heart (or rather in the agora) of healthy democracy. Brian Garsten's Saving Persuasion (2009) exemplifies a now common effort to catalogue the British and European hostility to rhetoric while lauding United States thinkers, such as James Madison, who celebrated free public debate. If the Euro­ pean Enlightenment philosophically counseled, sapere aude, then the Amer­ ican Enlightenment pragmatically retorted disputare aude. Four recent books, two by historians and two by rhetoricians, more fully chronicle this prac­ tical response to the philosophical penchant, a rhetorical contrast with the philosophes' critical Enlightenment. Sandra Gustafson's Imagining Deliberative Democracy in the Early Amer­ ican Republic charts the course of U.S. "deliberative democracy," which "emphasizefs] the political power of language and advancejs] a commit­ ment to dialogue and persuasion as the best means to resolve conflicts and forge a progressive tradition" (220). She highlights dueling conciliatory and prophetic traditions of public address. The conciliatory tradition dominated the United States circa 1815-1835. Paying particular attention to political and pulpit oratory, Gustafson contrasts the Hellenistic William...
