The
Forest of Rhetoric: silva rhetoricae
This online rhetoric, provided by Dr. Gideon Burton of Brigham
Young University, is a guide
to the terms of classical and renaissance rhetoric. Sometimes
it is difficult to see the forest
(the big picture) of rhetoric because of the trees (the hundreds
of Greek and Latin terms naming
figures of speech, etc.) within rhetoric.

A stated purpose of this page is "to provide a site on the Web
where people from around the
country and around the world can come for a quick synopsis of
topics related to the study of
rhetoric. The purpose of the RRT site is not to provide an exhaustive
or authoritative treatments
of rhetorical topics, but to offer an annotated and hypertextual
introduction to the essential
ideas and key figures within one of the most important and dynamic
disciplinary traditions
in the Western academy."
