Understanding the processes of rhetorical criticism-the systematic investigation and explanation of symbolic acts and artifacts-creates opportunities for more effective communication. When we are aware of the various options available in the construction of messages and how they function to produce effects, we have the tools needed to question the messages in artifacts rather than responding uncritically. Sonja Foss, who has an enviable talent for synthesizing complex rhetorical concepts and processes into clear explanations, presents nine methods of rhetorical criticism. She carefully explains and illustrates the theory behind each method with abundant examples of applications.
Interesting and lively essays, some written by students, encourage readers to develop their critical skills. Useful bibliographies list additional samples for each type of criticism.

Over multiple editions, this transformative text has taught the lively art of rhetorical criticism to thousands of students at more than 300 colleges and universities. Insights from classroom use enrich each new edition. With an unparalleled talent for distilling sophisticated rhetorical concepts and processes, Sonja Foss highlights ten methods of doing rhetorical criticism—the systematic investigation and explanation of symbolic acts and artifacts. Each chapter focuses on one method, its foundational theories, and the steps necessary to perform an analysis using that method.
Foss provides instructions on how to write coherent, well-argued reports of analytical findings, which are then illustrated by sample essays. A chapter on feminist criticism features the disruption of conventional ideologies and practices. Storytelling in the digital world is a timely addition to the chapter on narrative criticism.
Student essays now include analyses of the same artifact using multiple methods. A deep understanding of rhetorical criticism equips readers to become engaged and active participants in shaping the nature of the worlds in which we live. A list of additional samples of essays in which the method from each chapter has been used can be viewed. “An exceptional survey of methods and approaches to rhetorical criticism in the twenty-first century.” — Matthew May, Texas A&M University “Chapters are well organized with updated examples in clear language our foreign students understand. Thank you to Sonja Foss!
Another winner.” — Susan Tomasovic, George Mason University “This is my go-to text when I teach any rhetorical course, particularly for students new to the discipline. The readings are accessible and the foundation the chapters provide, coupled with the student paper examples, allow for a solid footing in rhetorical criticism.” — Tracey Patton, University of Wyoming “Essential reading alongside traditional rhetorical theory texts.” — Sarah Jedd, University of Wisconsin “I believe I have used every edition of this excellent work over the years but the Fifth Edition is clearly the best one. And that is saying something!” — Richard Leo Enos, Texas Christian University “I love the new edition for many reasons. This is a text that has stood the test of time. The upgrades and improvements in this edition are impressive: a new emphasis on writing literature reviews, for example, is most welcome; the selection of student-written essays is expanded; feminism is again treated in a chapter-length piece; and the price is economical for students.” — Daniel Brown, Grove City College “Foss’s text is the gold standard for rhetorical criticism. I have used it through many editions because her basic premise is inquiry and how to assist students in making rhetoric useful beyond the classroom.” — Heather Lettner-Rust, Longwood University.
