Více o knize

The book delves into William Cobbett's rhetorical strategies, revealing the complexity and skill behind his polemical writings from his early American journalism onward. Leonora Nattrass conducts close readings that highlight the political implications of Cobbett's style in the context of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century political prose. She argues that perceived flaws in his writing are actually deliberate strategies aimed at engaging diverse audiences, challenging the notion of Cobbett as merely an unselfconscious populist.
