How did rhetoric begin and what was it before it was called ""rhetoric""? Must art have a name to be considered art? What were the differences among poets, philosophers, sophists, and rhetoricians before Plato emphasized their differences? Robin Reames attempts to intervene in these and other questions by examining the status of rhetorical theory in texts that predate Plato's coining of the term ""rhetoric"".
