Although the art of rhetoric is central to the practice of politics it also plays an important role in civic and private life. Using Aristotelian notions of ethos, pathos and logos, this collection offers engaging discussions on everything from Prime Minister's Questions and Welsh devolution to political satire and the rhetoric of cultural racism.The art of rhetoric is central to the practice of politics. It also, however, plays an important role in civic and private life, where it is employed to persuade, negotiate and resolve disputes on a daily basis. Using the Aristotelian categories of ethos (appeals based on the character of the speaker), pathos (appeals to the emotions of an audience) and logos (appeals to reason), the contributors to this collection explore topics ranging from Prime Minister's Questions and Welsh devolution to political satire and the rhetoric of cultural racism. This collection provides a highly accessible and engaging discussion of a variety of issues, while casting new light on the place and function of rhetoric in contemporary Britain. As such, it will appeal to a wide audience, including scholars and students of rhetoric, political communication, British politics, cultural studies and sociology.

520 1 $a Rhetorics in British Politics and Society is a unique book. It is the most comprehensive survey of the place of rhetoric in British political culture available at the moment. It is also a unique exercise in using rhetorical theory to understand contemporary political communication, which shows the potential of rhetoric as a paradigm in communication studies and political science. The authors say that the antidote to bad, manipulative rhetoric is not no rhetoric, but good rhetoric. They rightly draw our attention to the fact that the teaching and training of rhetorical skills, even if these do not go under that name anymore, is, in Britain, still the pregorative of the privileged and there it is often limited to an understanding of persuasion that stems from the hierarchical, paternalistic past of our political and social instutions. Much needs to be done to create new forms and understandings of what it means to 'speak well' and to democratise the teaching of rhetoric. The authors show that politics and civil society cannot afford to ignore rhetoric, its past and even more so its future' - Johan Siebers, Division of English Language, Linguistics, Literature and Culture, University of Central Lancashire, UK.
