"The Art of Rhetoric" is the earliest systematic work of rhetoric and literary criticism in the English. This work, which brought into English the procedures of Ciceronian rhetoric-invention, disposition, style, memory, and delivery-the core of the academic curriculum in Renaissance England, went through eight editions between 1553 and 1585. At the time, its appeal was both practical and academic. Today it gives a unique insight into the formal training of such authors as Shakespeare, Spenser, Jonson, and Milton.
First published in 1553, Wilson's work brought into the English language the procedures of Ciceronian rhetoric, and quickly became a mainstay of the academic curriculum. It reveals much about the education of such authors as Shakespeare, Spenser, Jonson, and Milton. Other 20th-century editions have been facsimiles, or have retained the original spelling; this modernizes the spelling and punctuation of the 1560 second edition. Indexed only by rhetorical terms.
