Information on Submitting to
Journal for the History of Rhetoric

The Journal for the History of Rhetoric, the research-oriented, peer-reviewed publication of the American Society for the History of Rhetoric, welcomes scholarly contributions on all historical aspects of rhetoric, in all periods, and with reference to all intellectual, national, and cultural communities. The journal welcomes contributions that fall both within and outside the typical historical rhetorical canon, as well as those that consider multiple media, take diverse approaches, and those willing to experiment with essays addressing issues in rhetorical history but written in historical rhetorical forms.

The scope of JHR includes, but is not strictly limited to, the following matters of historical research (listed alphabetically):

• argumentation;
• editions and translations of rhetorical texts;
• public address;
• relations of rhetoric with other disciplines or cultural institutions, processes, and events;
• rhetorical criticism, including the rhetoric of humanistic and/ or non-humanistic disciplines;
• rhetorical discourse;
• rhetorical education in writing and speaking;
• the historical development of rhetorical theory;
• rhetorical historiography;
• the rhetoric of social ideas and movements.
