Practitioners on Practice... On Rhetoric: An interview with Benet Brandreth
Benet explains the five fundamental canons of rhetoric: invention, disposition, memory, style, and utterance. He narrates the classical practice, from its 'empty' reputation to its performative strength.
Benet considers which of Shakespeare's characters are the most convincing rhetoricians, explores rhetoric's key tenets at work in Julius Caesar, and demonstrates the performance benefits of viewing characterisation and textual discourse through a rhetorical lens.
