I am a very happy with my purchase. The service from Big Bend has been excellent, and they have responded very quickly to my questions, and have been very co-operative. The product was in very good condition, and will be very useful or my course in Rhetoric.

Utterly modern!
14 April 2001
Format:Paperback
It's a hip and modern book. It's great for undergraduate and graduate students unfamiliar with rhetoric criticism. Rhetoric criticism made easy written in a simple, straightforward, and occasionally humorous style. This is the only book I actually anticipate reading for my rhetoric class. This book gives its readers working vocabulary with which they use to analyze rhetoric of a text. As well, it supplies easy-to-understand guide to critiquing. The chapters in the book consist of three units: Introduction to Criticism, General Forms of Criticism, and Specialized Form of Criticism. Within these units, the book has separate chapters on analyzing ideas, situations, word choices, media, and more. As well, separate chapters consist of drama, role, cultural, and feminist criticism.
a good resource

I'm surprised at how often I've turned to this resource in studying various aspects of rhetoric and visual rhetoric. It's a good addition to my scholarly library.

I expected a brand new book, and got a brand new book! :) I would order from here again! The book is for class and I am glad I could find it at a cheaper price than the bookstore.
