Reviews
[This book] will help move the field forward. The others are cookie cutter, dry, do not use examples, and certainly do not make them relevant for the 21st century. A book that does the survey of theory and expands it in the way that is proposed here while examining a wide variety of artifacts is definitely needed." -Leila Brammer, Professor of Communications, Gustavus Adolphus College "Sheckels empowers readers to see why their preliminary questions about rhetorical action matter, and why thinking about texts in pluralistic, creative, and critical ways is an engaging intellectual exercise. Said more plainly, Sheckels has found a means to make rhetorical criticism more accessible to beginning rhetorical critics. He writes in a style that takes them seriously and recognizes that they may not yet have developed an informed understanding of the history of rhetoric. ... The book seems like the sort that undergrads will carry around and use because it is both manageable and takes them seriously as working rhetorical critics." -Jeffrey B. Kurtz, Associate Professor Communication, Denison University "The content was well organized, and I feel like undergrads will have an easy time working through this book. The foundations of rhetoric are well developed, and the text provides clear coverage of the field's current trends with up-to-date examples. Overall, this book is a good overview of the field." -Joshua D. Phillips, Assistant Teaching Professor, Penn State-Brandywine

Synopsis
Encourages students to analyze texts of various sorts - speeches, advertisements, memory sites, and more - to gain a clear understanding of what the text has to say and how it persuades or otherwise affects its audience. The book clearly and succinctly helps students build the skills required to easily and effectively practice rhetorical criticism., Rhetorical Criticism: Empowering the Exploration of "Texts" encourages students to analyze texts of various sorts-speeches, advertisements, memory sites, and more-to gain a clear understanding of what the text has to say and how it persuades or otherwise affects its audience. The book clearly and succinctly helps students build the skills required to easily and effectively practice rhetorical criticism. The book begins with a chapter that defines "rhetoric," "criticism," and "text," demonstrates how theory-based rhetorical criticism can be exciting, and emphasizes that there are many diverse lenses through which to illuminate texts. The proceeding chapters explore various types of rhetorical criticism, including classical, The Chicago School, Burkean, fantasy theme, narrative, genre, mythological, Bahktinian, ideological, feminist, and constitutive. Each chapter begins by explaining the theory in which the critical approach is based. It then explains how a critic utilizing that particular type of rhetorical criticism manages the critical process and offers the reader an extended example of the critical approach in use. Conversational in nature and inclusive of a wide range of critical methods, Rhetorical Criticism is ideal for undergraduate courses in rhetoric-oriented courses., Rhetorical Criticism: Empowering the Exploration of "Texts" encourages students to analyze texts of various sorts--speeches, advertisements, memory sites, and more--to gain a clear understanding of what the text has to say and how it persuades or otherwise affects its audience.
