Discussing the use of rhetoric in the royal courts of China, Europe, and Japan, this volume examines them as loci of power and as entities that establish, influence, or counter the norms of a larger society. It is organized into sections on the rhetoric of persuasion, taste, communication, gender, and natural nobility.
