Oratory of the South: From the Civil War to the Present Time is a comprehensive study of the art of public speaking in the American South. Written by Edwin DuBois Shurter, a prominent professor of public speaking, the book examines the history and development of oratory in the South from the end of the Civil War to the mid-twentieth century.The book is divided into three parts. The first part covers the period from the end of the Civil War to the turn of the century, and focuses on the role of oratory in the reconstruction of the South. The second part covers the period from the turn of the century to World War II, and examines the impact of political and social change on Southern oratory. The final part covers the period from World War II to the mid-twentieth century, and looks at the role of oratory in the Civil Rights movement and other social and political movements of the time.Throughout the book, Shurter provides detailed analyses of the speeches of prominent Southern orators, including William Jennings Bryan, Robert E. Lee, Booker T. Washington, and Martin Luther King Jr. He also explores the cultural and historical context in which these speeches were delivered, and discusses the rhetorical techniques and strategies used by these speakers to connect with their audiences and convey their messages.Overall, Oratory of the South: From the Civil War to the Present Time is a fascinating and insightful exploration of the art of public speaking in the American South. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Southern history, politics, and culture, as well as for students of public speaking and rhetoric.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
