the second edition of RhetoricalCriticism: Perspectives in Action presents a thorough, accessible, and well-grounded introduction to contemporary rhetorical criticism. Systematic chapters contributed by noted experts introduce the fundamental aspects of a perspective, provide students with an example to model when writing their own criticism, and address the potentials and pitfalls of the approach. In addition to covering traditional modes of rhetorical criticism, the volume presents less commonly discussed rhetorical perspectives, exposing students to a wide cross-section of techniques.

Thoughts on updates for the 3E:


Add chapter on visual criticism
Update feminist critique ch
Query reviewers on keeping fantasy theme analysis and bringing back framing chapter (beyond the news)
Add Advocacy criticism?
Add intersectionality?
Concept criticism?
Are there chapters that will be cut from this edition? What is the right length for this book to make comprehensive and up to date but keep teachable/affordable?
