"In this book, Donoghue continues his case for reading for aesthetic pleasure rather than to have our political values endorsed or abused.  This is an argument that needs to be made, and it is all the more crucial that a critic of Donoghue's stature make it."-David Rosen, Trinity College, "Donoghue is a formidably gifted critic whose range of reference is truly impressive."-Peter Brooks, New York Times Book Review, "Denis Donoghue brings a lifetime's devotion to linguistic eloquence to this book, an eloquent plea for the appreciation of literary beauty."-Denise Gigante, Stanford University, "Denis Donoghue brings a lifetime's devotion to linguistic eloquence to this book, an eloquent plea for the appreciation of literary beauty."-Denise Gigante, Stanford University  , Donoghue is a formidably gifted critic whose range of reference is truly impressive.

Synopsis
On Eloquence questions the common assumption that eloquence is merely a subset of rhetoric, a means toward a rhetorical end. Denis Donoghue, an eminent and prolific critic of the English language, holds that this assumption is erroneous. While rhetoric is the use of language to persuade people to do one thing rather than another, Donoghue maintains that eloquence is "gratuitous, ideally autonomous, in speech and writing an upsurge of creative vitality for its own sake." He offers many instances of eloquence in words, and suggests the forms our appreciation of them should take.   Donoghue argues persuasively that eloquence matters, that we should indeed care about it. "Because we should care about any instances of freedom, independence, creative force, sprezzatura ," he says, "especially when we live--perhaps this is increasingly the case--in a culture of the same, featuring official attitudes, stereotypes of the officially enforced values, sedated language, a politics of pacification." A noteworthy addition to Donoghue's long-term project to reclaim a disinterested appreciation of literature as literature , this volume is a wise and pleasurable meditation on eloquence, its unique ability to move or give pleasure, and its intrinsic value., "On Eloquence" questions the common assumption that eloquence is merely a subset of rhetoric, a means toward a rhetorical end.

    The book arrived swiftly packaged in a protective plastic envelope, but it was a paperback not hardcover as listed. I contacted seller and they apologized, refunded me and suggested several things to do with the book after allowing me to keep it. I have gone ahead and ordered a hardcover from the same seller. I’m a repeat customer and hope to remain so. This mixup was a first, but I’m very impressed with their prompt response and professionalism. Kudos :)
