The Speaker Respoken: Material Rhetoric as Feminist Methodology

Vicki Tolar Collins

Abstract

Presents a methodology based on the concept of “material rhetoric” that can help scholars avoid problems as they reclaim women’s historical texts. Defines material rhetoric and positions it theoretically in relation to other methodologies, including bibliographical studies, reception theory, and established feminist methodologies. Illustrates feminist use of material rhetoric through a study of “The Account of Hester Ann Rogers.”
