A Treatise of Schemes and Tropes

Chapter 8: INDEX TO AUTHORS AND ORATORS
Open in WeRead

About This Book

This work collects and defines classical schemes and tropes in the vernacular, offering concise definitions, Greek and Latin terms, and usually a single illustrative example for each figure. It presents rhetoric primarily as style and ornament, asserting that figures both clarify and embellish expression while largely setting aside invention, arrangement, memory, and delivery. Presentation is highly prescriptive and schematic, resembling a pedagogical dictionary of terms and rules intended for imitation. The printed edition pairs the catalog with an English rendering of a contemporary essay on educating children, supplying practical exemplars for composition and spoken discourse.
