Rhondabee Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 It is called Ancient Rhetorics for Contemporary Students by Sharon Crowley. Here is the listing on Amazon. It has one really "bad" review, but it was written by someone using the book for grad school, and he felt the book was too babyish. The comment following his review indicates the books is designed for upper high school or college freshmen students. Just wondering how it might compare to the Corbett book and/or the D'Angelo. (Maybe somewhat simpler to use? VP offers a free teacher's guide along with purchase. I'm wondering if that might help with planning/evaluating.) Off hand, it looks like Crowley incorporates the Progym while discussing other aspects of Rhetoric. (See the TOC here.) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Thanks! (I'll have to try your trick of searching by the author's name next time!) Yes, the key is finding one word (and one word only) to search with if you're using the search function here! That worked for Crowley, but it would never work if you're searching for something like Teaching Textbooks as both words would produce way too many finds.
