Bibliographies in Rhetorical Studies (J. Comas)

<body bgcolor="#f5f5f5"> <center> <p align="left"> On this page you will find a list of bibliographic materials in the study of rhetorical theory and the history of rhetoric--and, when available online, links to these materials. I've used three general categories to organize the list: </p> <div align="left"> <ul> <li type="disc"> Comprehensive Bibliographies </li> <li type="disc"> Historical Periods </li> <li type="disc"> Individual Topics, including "Rhetorical Criticism" and "PhilosophyRhetoric" </li> </ul> </div> <p align="left"> This page is part of a set of pages in Rhetorical Studies, focusing on rhetorical theory and its history, including ancient rhetorical theory, contemporary rhetorical theory, the relationship between rhetoric and philosophy, and the relationship between rhetoric and ethics. If you are viewing this text, your browser lacks the ability to read frames, which I use for easier navigation. But don't worry; the same bibliographical information appears below. </p> <hr> <h4 align="left">COMPREHENSIVE BIBLIOGRAPHIES</h4> <blockquote> <p align="left"> <a href="http://www.bedfordstmartins.com/bb/contents.html" title="Go to the Bedford Bibliography"><b>Bedford Bibliography for Teachers of Writing</b></a> <br> <font color="#999999"><http://www.bedfordstmartins.com/bb/contents.html></font> <br> Maintained by Patricia Bizzell and Bruce Herzberg. </p> <p align="left">   </p> <p align="left"> <a href="http://www.public.iastate.edu/~honeyl/bib/index.html" title="Go to Honeycut bibliographic database"><b>Composition & Rhetoric Bibliographic Database Project</b></a> <br> <font color="#999999"><http://www.public.iastate.edu/~honeyl/bib/index.html></font> <br> Maintained by Lee Honeycut, Department of English at Iowa State University. </p> <p align="left"> <b><i>The Present State of Scholarship in Historical and Contemporary Rhetori c.</i> Revised ed.
