- Title
Oral Rhetoric, Rhetoric, and Literature.
- Authors
Arnold, Carroll C.
- Abstract
The article discusses oral rhetoric in the context of speeches by William Butler Yeats delivered in the Irish Senate. What differentiates the publication of speeches from the orally delivered speeches themselves includes the notion that contextual information must be supplied if oral rhetoric is to be fully understood. The notion therefore of an "undelivered" speech is not oxymoronic. Additionally, speeches may be considered as literature, although they are time-bound, circumstance-bound, and occasion-bound in a way other "literary" forms are not.
