ABSTRACT Nineteenth-century literature played a central role in shaping rhetorical paradigms for Englishwomen. Examining the development of one construct of the woman orator, the improvisatrice. in conjunction with George Campbell's The Philosophy o f Rhetoric (1776) and Hugh Blair's Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres (1784). reveals how- imaginative literature was a site for the production and circulation of rhetorical theory . With the 1807 publication of Germaine de StaeTs Corrine. or Italy, the improvisatrice became a well-recognized representation of the private woman bringing her role as moral guardian into the public sphere. De Stael's notion of the improvising woman quickly became popular not just as a literary figure but as a supposedly authentic representation of women's oratorical processes as well. As the improvisatrice w as thus seen as an enactment of a rhetorical theory, this dissertation reads w orks in the improvisatrice tradition alongside the rhetorical theories of Campbell and Blair. Such an approach foregrounds the manner in which the discourse of power was used to recognize woman’s widening role even as it established her newly-recognized rhetorical abilities as innately inferior to man's. The inventional process of the improvisatrice rhetoric feminized Blairian belletrism and Campbellian epistemology. Reading Corinne alongside these rhetorical treatises therefore reveals a system of persuasion founded on imagination and innate ii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

Likewise, the treatment of style in the improvisatrice rhetoric reiterates related precepts from Campbell's Philosophy and Blair's Lectures. The poems of so-called English Improvisatrice Letitia Landon illustrate well the redeployment of the rhetoricians' discussion of the relation of style to musicality and the moral sublime. As demonstrated by the waning of Landon's reputation, the improvisatrice rhetoric increasingly lost popularity as the century progressed. While Charlotte Bronte's juvenilia reveal an infatuation with this system, she later critiques itThe Professor and Villette. George Eliot is likewise critical of the improvisatrice rhetoric, an opinion which informs The Mill on the Floss but also "Erinna" andDaniel Deronda. As indicated by Bronte and Eliot's treatments, then, by the century's end. the improvisatrice rhetoric had fallen out of favor. iii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION There remains to be treated of. another species of Composition in prose, which comprehends a very numerous, though in general, a very insignificant class of Writings, known by the name of Romances and Novels. These may. at first view, deem too insignificant to deserv e that any particular notice should be taken of them. But I cannot be of this opinion. [. ..] For any kind of Writing, how trifling soever in appearance, that obtains a general currency, and especially that early preoccupies the imagination of the youth of both sexes, must demand particular attention. Its influence is likely to be considerable, both on the morals, and taste of a nation. Hugh Blair

  • Dr. Hugh Blair
    ; DR. HUGH BLAIR. This venerable clergyman was a lineal descendant from an antient family in the west of Scotland ; he was born on the 7th of April I71i5. The fortune of his father had been much impaired, but not so as to prevent him from giving his son a liberal education. After going through the usual course at the high school, Hugh Blair became a student at the university of Edinburgh, in October 1730. From the delicacy of his constitution he was unable to partake much in the sports of the boys, but preferred amusing himself in his solitary walks by repeating the poems of others, and sometimes attempting to make some of his own. When he became a student at the university, liis constitution grew more vigorous, and he could pursue both the amusements and the studies proper for his age. In all his classes he attracted attention, but in the logic class he was particularly distinguished and, while attending it, he composed an essay on the Beautiful, in wliich the bent of his genius first displayed itself, both to liimself and to others. In the year 1739, when the course of Mr. Blair's academical studies was nearly finished, he published a thesis, " De Fundamentis et Obligatione Legis Natures.^'' The discussion, though short, is able. After spending eleven years at the university in the study of literature, philosophy, and divinity, Mr. Blair was licensed to preach by the presbytery of Edinburgh, in 1741. In the pulpit his doctrines were sound and practical, and his language elegant : oue sermon of his in the west church was particularly noticed, it arrested the attention of a very numerous congregation.

ELMER Helen Epigrammatopoios Ancient commentators identify several passages in the Iliad as “epigrams.” This paper explores the consequences of taking the scholia literally and understanding these passages in terms of inscription. Two tristichs spoken by Helen in the teikhoskopia are singled out for special attention. These lines can be construed not only as epigrams in the general sense, but more speciWcally as captions appended to an image of the Achaeans encamped on the plain of Troy. Since Helen’s lines to a certain extent correspond to the function and style of catalogic poetry, reading them speciWcally as captions leads to a more nuanced understanding of both Homeric poetry and Homeric self-reference. By contrasting Helen’s “epigrams” with those of Hektor, one can also discern a gender-based diVerentiation of poetic functions. No Greek literary genre is more inextricably linked to the technology of writ- ingthantheepigram, whichderivesitsdeWning characteristics from the exigencies of inscription. It may therefore seem somewhat incongruent to Wnd discernible gestures toward this most scriptural genre in the most thoroughly “oral” texts that survive from antiquity, the Homeric Iliad and Odyssey.

  • The Merging of Civic Republicanism, Polite Culture, and Christianity in Hugh Blair’S Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres1
    THE MERGING OF CIVIC REPUBLICANISM, POLITE CULTURE, AND CHRISTIANITY IN HUGH BLAIR’S LECTURES ON RHETORIC AND BELLES LETTRES1 Arthur E. Walzer The focus of this paper is Lecture 34 of Hugh Blair’s Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres. Lecture 34 is the last of ten lectures devoted to what Blair calls “Public Speaking.”2 Th ese ten lectures on public speaking comprise Blair’s concentrated attention to the “rhetoric” part of his title, to distinguish this theme from the emphasis on taste and criticism that constitutes “belles lettres.” Th ese rhetoric lectures are an interesting instance in historical appropriation: Blair is deeply committed to classical rhetoric, which was central to his educational experience at Edinburgh. In his Lectures, he would appropriate the civic, republican rhetorical tradition to his own Enlightenment, Christian, Scottish, post-Union context. Th e challenges of this appropriation are considerable and come to a head in Lecture 34, “Means of Improving in Eloquence.” Th e lecture references Quintilian and argues that one can be an eff ective orator only if one is fi rst a good person; success in oratory and good character are reciprocal, so developing an appropri- ate, moral character is the best means to improving eloquence. But the character traits that Quintilian had in mind – those public, political, Aristocratic virtues of civic republicanism in its Roman context – are not particularly applicable to Blair’s polite, Christian, Scottish, demo- cratic context. Yet Blair is unwilling to abandon the civic republicanism of the rhetorical tradition. He seeks to combine it with the values of politeness so important to Enlightened Edinburgh – and also with the Christian values fundamental to Blair’s program.

  • The Aesthetics of Dialect in Hellenistic Epigram
    The Aesthetics of Dialect in Hellenistic Epigram A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Classics by Taylor S. Coughlan B.A. Carleton College M.A. University of Wisconsin—Madison March 18, 2016 Committee Chair: Kathryn Gutzwiller, Ph.D. Alex Sens, Ph.D. Lauren Ginsberg, Ph.D. i Abstract This dissertation is a study of dialect choice and dialect mixture in Hellenistic book epigram. The aims of the project are not only linguistic, but also literary; indeed, what motivates the study is an overarching interest in understanding how specific dialect choices can enrich the meaning of the poem in which they appear. Scholars have only recently started to include dialect in their readings of individual epigrams, but no one has systematically studied the entire corpus. In order to more fully understand Hellenistic book epigram and its flourishing during a period of great social, cultural, and literary change, we must confront the genre’s use of dialect or otherwise miss out on an important component in this self-conscious genre’s production of poetic meaning. Following an introduction that sets out the interpretive framework for the dissertation and explores issues of dialect transmission in the manuscript tradition, the study falls into two parts, each comprising three chapters. In the first part, I attempt to situate dialect choice and mixture in its poetic and literary-critical contexts. In the first chapter, I investigate dialect usage in pre- Hellenistic Greek poetry, not including inscribed epigram, arguing that dialect mixture for poetic effect existed in Archaic and Classical poetry.

ABSTRACT Erinna was a poetess from Telos, who flourished in the latter part of the fourth century or the early part of the third century B.C. There is very little evidence avail• able about her life or her work but what there is allows us to state.with confidence that she must have lived at some time between 356-352 B.C., the date given as her floruit by Eusebius, and 276/5, the probable date of the earliest testi• mony about her. We may also be sure that, due to an early death at the age of nineteen, her work was confined to a few epigrams and a lament upon the death of her friend Baucis, a poem in three hundred hexameters that was known to later writers by the title of the Distaff.

The chapters contained in this manuscript dissertation are previously published studies in eighteenth-century Scottish rhetorical theory, examining the multiple and sometimes contradictory legacies of this important body of work on language pedagogy, philosophy of mind and language, and political theory.

    GYNAIKOS LOGOS : FEMININE VOICE IN ARCHAIC GREEK POETRY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Aikaterini Ladianou, M.A * * * * * The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Professor William Batstone, Adviser Approved by Assistant Professor Thomas Hawkins Professor Bruce Heiden ________________________________ Adviser Greek and Latin Graduate Program ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that feminine voice can be found in Archaic Greek poetry. Attempting to answer this question, I tried to build a case for a feminine voice that is historically contextualized, since it is constructed within the context of archaic Greece. For this thesis, such a voice is not as a natural, physical voice but a constructed gendered voice. In the beginning, Sappho’s construction of feminine voice is considered as dialogic. Sappho re-reads, re-writes Homeric epic as a feminine epic: polyphonic, against dichotomies and hierarchies. In the case of Sappho, feminine voice is constructed as the voice of the persona loquens, be that Sappho or the female performer. In Homer, a similar feminine voice is constructed as the voice of Helen, a poetic female figure. Thus, Homer constructs a double, unfixed, polyphonic feminine voice that functions as an alternative poetic discourse within the Iliad . Finally, in Alcman the female voice of the chorus proves to be essentially masculine. Thus, emphasizing hierarchical models, or male models of desire, the chorus is reinforcing patriarchal structures. Building on French feminist theory and late Bakhtinian discussions, this thesis attempts to map down polyphony, multiplicity, fluidity and mutability as the main characteristics of a feminine voice.
