Rhetoric Beyond Words by Mary Carruthers
Delight and Persuasion in the Medieval Arts of Memory
This study argues that medieval rhetoric extended far beyond written words to include visual images, liturgical performance, architectural space, and mnemonic techniques that together sought to move, instruct, and delight audiences; by examining manuscripts, artworks, and ritual practices the author shows how classical rhetorical principles were transformed into embodied, sensory strategies for persuasion and memory in medieval culture, revealing a continuous interplay between cognition, affect, and material form in the making and reception of meaning.
