Examines key thinkers such as George Campbell, Hugh Blair, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, then organizes the modern field into five categories: current-traditional, romantic, neo-classical, new rhetoric, and new stylistics. Includes a dedicated chapter on I. A. Richards and Kenneth Burke, and concludes with poststructural influences including deconstruction, feminist criticism, and postmodernism, supplemented by a glossary for
