Cesar Chesneau Dumarsais / Charles Batteux
Des Tropes Et De La Construction Oratoire (1793) is a book written by French philosopher and linguist, Cesar Chesneau Dumarsais. The book is a comprehensive study of the use of tropes and figures of speech in oratory, with a focus on their role in constructing persuasive arguments. Dumarsais examines a wide range of rhetorical devices, including metaphors, similes, hyperbole, and irony, and provides detailed explanations of their various functions and effects. He also explores the principles of effective oratory, such as the use of clear and concise language, the importance of audience awareness, and the art of persuasion. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the art of rhetoric or the history of language and communication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
