This book positions medieval Byzantine rhetorical rhythm at the intersection of prose and poetry and offers an analysis of its role in argumentation and persuasion. It also highlights little-known rhetorical theory and seeks to recover the importance of rhythm in rhetorical education in antiquity and the medieval period, and for rhetoric in general.
