Beschreibung:
Waldo W. Braden, at his death in 1991, was Boyd Professor Emeritus of Speech Communication at Louisiana State University. He was the author of Abraham Lincoln, Public Speaker and many other books.
Over the years, the phrase "southern oratory" has become laden with myth; its mere invocation conjures up powerful images of grandiloquent antebellum patriarchs, enthusiastic New South hucksters, and raving wild-eyed demagogue politicians. In these essays, Waldo Braden strips away the myths to expose how the South's orators achieved their rhetorical effects and manipulated their audiences.
