Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Power of Speech
Jonas Gabrielsen · 2010
64/100
👎 Skip It
A solid academic rhetoric textbook grounded in 2,500 years of classical tradition and clearly doing its job in Scandinavian university classrooms, but its primary audience is Danish-language students and its availability in English is uncertain. Without English-language critical coverage, it is difficult to recommend broadly when better-documented public speaking books are readily available.
