Overview

This book examines the relationship between rhetoric and public culture.  Barry Brummett explores homologies between very different orders of experience and texts, such as battlefield experiences that are homologous to those at a dining room table.  What these common patterns mean, why they are interesting, and why homology is rhetorical are the subjects of this study. 

"Rhetorical Homologies  is an exceptionally well-crafted and -written work. Highly imaginative as well as at times provocative. . . . The individual studies in this text stand on their own as refined and sophisticated analyses of the relationship between rhetoric and public culture."--Raymie McKerrow, coeditor of Principles and Types of Pubic Speaking
