Description
"Rhetoric needs more audacious scholarship, and Every Living Thing is audacious yet rigorous. The inclusive nature of Johnson's approach is exemplary. Scholars of rhetoric will be citing from all parts of this book for years to come." -Debra Hawhee, author of Rhetoric in Tooth and Claw: Animals, Language, Sensation "Every Living Thing is a highly original work that is also readily recognizable, which is a testament to how on point its concept is. It is brilliantly novel yet familiar. Jenell Johnson's style and scholarship, which is of the highest caliber, is worthy of deep respect." -Nathan Stormer, author of Sign of Pathology: U.S. Medical Rhetoric on Abortion, 1800s-1960s
