Roderick P. Hart holds the Shivers Chair in Communication and is professor of government at the University of Texas at Austin. He is a fellow of the International Communication Association, a distinguished scholar of the National Communication Association, and the recipient of the Murray Edelman Career Award from the American Political Science Association. Hart is the author or editor of eighteen books, including most recently Trump and Us: What He Says and Why People Listen (2020) and Civic Hope: How Ordinary Americans Keep Democracy Alive (2018).
In this eloquent analysis of eloquence, Roderick Hart pulls out all the stops to diagnose, to redeem, and even to measure. Eloquence can be unsafe and even illegal, but it can also save us. Itself a compendium of eloquent remarks by others (and the author), this book might be just what is needed as American democracy hangs in the balance. -- John Durham Peters, coauthor of <i>Promiscuous Knowledge: Information, Image, and Other Truth Games in History</i>
