The Marble Wilderness

Viac o knihe

Focusing on rhetoric, this 1987 text by Dr. Springer explores the contrasting styles of communication within the Papacy and the Risorgimento. It highlights the encomiastic mode used by the Papacy, which praises and glorifies, versus the exhortatory mode of the Risorgimento, which aims to inspire and encourage action. This analysis sheds light on the differing purposes and effects of rhetoric in these two significant historical contexts.
