Farnsworth's Classical English Metaphor

Ward Farnsworth

4.24/5 (64 ratings)

Read Now Download Now

Farnsworth's Classical English Rhetoric was the definitive guide to the use of rhetorical devices in English. Here now is the natural, and perhaps even more noteworthy sequel, Farnsworth's Classical English Metaphor, the most entertaining and instructive book ever written about the art of linguistic comparisons.

A metaphor compares two things that seem unalike. Lincoln was a master of the art, as were Jefferson and Shakespeare. Farnsworth's book collects the most eloquent examples, arranges them by theme, and provides the historical and cultural backdrops that inspired their use. There is interest, instruction, and amusement to be found on every page.
