      This new edition of George A. Kennedy's highly acclaimed translation and commentary offers the most faithful English version ever published of <em>On Rhetoric</em>. Based on careful study of the Greek text and informed by the best modern scholarship, the second edition has been fully revised and<br>updated. As in the first edition, Kennedy makes the work readily accessible to modern students by providing an insightful general introduction, helpful section introductions, a detailed outline, extensive explanatory notes, and a glossary of Aristotle's rhetorical terms. Striving to convey a sense<br>of Aristotle's distinctive way of thinking, Kennedy preserves the meaning and technical language of the original text, <em>explaining</em> it in detail as opposed to simplifying it as other translations do.<br><br>Updated and expanded in light of recent scholarship, the second edition features:<br><br>* A revised introduction with two new sections: "The Strengths and Limitations of <em>On Rhetoric</em>" and "Aristotle's Original Audience and His Audience Today"<br>* A more user-friendly format: running heads now includ and chapter numbers<br>* An updated bibliography<br>* Revised appendices that provide translations of new supplementary texts--Socrates' Critique of Sophistic Rhetoric; Lysias' Speech <em>Against the Grain Dealers</em>; two selections from Isocrates (from <em>Against the Sophists</em> and from the <em>Antidosis</em>); selections from <em>Rhetoric for Alexander</em>; and Demosthenes'<br><em>Third Philippic</em>--and an extensive revision of George A. Kennedy's essay "The Earliest Rhetorical Handbooks"<br>
