WITH WHAT PERSUASION - SCOTT F CRIDER GEBUNDEN

Although there are a number of book-length studies of rhetoric in Shakespeare's plays  With
What Persuasion discerns a distinctly Shakespearean ethics of the art of rhetoric in them. In
this interdisciplinary book  Scott F. Crider draws upon the Aristotelian traditions of poetics
rhetoric  and ethics to show how Shakespeare addresses fundamental ethical questions that arise
during the public and private rhetorical situations Shakespeare represents in his plays.
Informed by the Greek  Roman  and English poetic and rhetorical traditions  With What
Persuasion offers close readings of a selection of plays - Hamlet  Julius Caesar  Henry the 5th
All's Well That Ends Well  Othello  Measure for Measure  and The Winter's Tale - to answer
universal questions about human speech and association  answers that refute a number of
contemporary literary and rhetorical theory's assumptions about language and power. Crider
argues that this Shakespearean ethics could assist us in our own historical moment as we in the
liberal  multicultural West try to refound  without coercion  ethical principles to bind us to
one another.
