Chesebro, eds. Methods of Rhetorical Criticism. 3rd ed., rev. Wayne State UP, 1989. LeFevre, K. Invention as a Social Act. SIUP, 1987. Swearingen, C. J. Rhetoric and Irony: Western Literacy and Western Lies. Oxford, 1991. Welch, K. The Contemporary Reception of Classical Rhetoric: Appropriations of Ancient Discourse. Lawrence Erlbaum, 1990. Ede/Lunsford. Singular Texts/Plural Authors. SIUP, 1991. --------------- Cheers! --Amanda
