About this talk
This symposium features Melissa Lane (Gresham Professor of Rhetoric) and Quentin Skinner (Emeritus Professor of Humanities, Queen Mary, University of London), and is chaired by Jane Shaw (Provost of Gresham College). Building on the expertise of Professor Lane on the Greek roots of rhetoric and Professor Skinner on Renaissance and early modern developments of classical Greek and Roman rhetoric, this conversation among symposiasts and audience explores both positive and negative uses of rhetoric in communication today.
