Yet it is also a +mirror of one variation of rhetoric which came to be called the rhetoric +of style. As a representative of this stylistic school, it offers little +that is new to the third part of classical rhetoric. Instead, it carries +forward the medieval concept that ornateness in communication is +desirable; it suggests that figures are tools for achieving this +ornateness; it supplies examples of ornateness to be imitated in writing +and speaking; it supports knowing the figures in order to understand +both secular and religious writings; it proposes that clarity is found +in the figures. In short, the work assisted Englishmen to understand +eloquence as well as to create it.</p> + +<p>Four-fifths of ancient rhetoric is omitted in the <i>Treatise</i>. +The nod is given to elocution. Invention is discussed, but only as a +tool to assist the communicator in amplifying his ideas, as a means to +spin out his thoughts to extreme lengths. Arrangement, memory, and +delivery are overlooked. Accordingly, the <i>Treatise</i> neatly fits +into the category of a Renaissance rhetoric on style. It is this school +which recognized the traditional five Ciceronian parts of rhetoric, but +considered style to be the most significant precept. +<span class = "pagenum">vi</span> +The <i>Treatise</i> is not the first to support an emphasis wholly on +style, nor the foremost. We know that Aristotle’s <i>Rhetoric</i>, +Cicero’s works on rhetoric, and Quintilian’s <i>Institutes</i> discussed +the significance of style, but they had a broad view. However, in +England, about the time of Bede, arose a limited concept that rhetoric +is mainly style, particularly that of the figures. It is this latter +truncated version of rhetoric that the <i>Treatise</i> continues in the +Renaissance. Rhetoric in Sherry’s work has lost its ancient meaning.</p> + +<p>The <i>Treatise</i> is highly prescriptive. It was born in an age of +rules. So much so, that the rhetorician who named his rules and tools +was not out of rapport with the period. This accounts for the rigidity, +the love of classification, and the schematic presentation of the work. +It is nothing more than a highly organized dictionary of ancient, +medieval, and Renaissance schemes and tropes. In fact, the major +variation from previous Latin compilers is to be found in the headnotes +relative to the various kinds of figures. Nor is it as thorough in +handling the figures as its predecessors. It utilizes, however, the +customary Greek and Latin terms and supplies a definition, but here the +similarity with contemporaries and ancients ends. It is weak in +amplification of examples during an age when amplification was +practiced. Sherry economizes by selecting usually one example in support +of a figure while contemporary cataloguers, and ancients for that +matter, are more definitive.</p> + +<span class = "pagenum">vii</span> +<p>Whether the work was ever popular within the schools or without is +unclear. Probably it did not have extensive success because only one +issue of the work appeared and a revised edition was brought out in +1555. By contrast, during the sixteenth century, Erasmus’ <i>De +Copia</i> (1512) had at least eleven printings, Mosellanus’ <i>Table</i> +(c. 1529) had at least eight editions, Susenbrotus’ <i>Epitome</i> +(1541) had at least twenty printings, Peacham’s <i>Garden</i> (1577) had +two editions, and Day’s <i>Secretorie</i> (1586) underwent at least five +editions. Some of these works had new editions printed in the +seventeenth century and would seem to reflect a greater public +acceptance than the <i>Treatise</i>. Some were also written in Latin +while Sherry moves in the vernacular. It still was an age of Latin, and +Sherry in part recognized this by his alternate Latin and English +movement in his second rhetoric on style published in 1555. Moreover, +people seemed content to remain with the giants of the Renaissance, +notably Erasmus and his <i>De Copia</i> instead of turning to a lesser +light such as Sherry.</p> + +<p>The <i>Treatise</i> does have merit. The work cannot be judged +entirely by tallying its meager number of editions, its lack of +thoroughness, or its artificial divisions. Its signal contribution rests +upon the fact that it is a pioneering effort at permitting the figures +to march, for the first time, in English. Here Sherry had an opportunity +to provide the English reader with additional words, ideas, and material +to be employed in vernacular communication. His efforts in his works on +rhetoric, the two editions of the <i>Treatise</i>, provided +<span class = "pagenum">viii</span> +the sixteenth century Englishman with the identical schemes and tropes +which had been a heritage of the Latin language since antiquity. Hence +the work can be called a complicated ordering of the figures, but it is +also a sincere attempt to provide in English those figures which would +lend ornateness to the expression of an idea.</p> + +<p>To indicate that the <i>Treatise</i> was part of a continuing school +of rhetoric, we must consider a few rhetoricians subsequent to Sherry’s +work. Indeed, one notices the continuance of dictionaries of figures +which carry the admonition that the usual manner of utterance was to be +despised. Thomas Wilson’s <i>The Arte of Rhetorique</i> (1553), although +preserving the classical idea of rhetoric, also felt the definition of a +figure employed in communication involved the uncommon. Twenty-seven +years subsequent to Sherry, England again has a pure catalogue of the +figures; this is Peacham’s <i>Garden of Eloquence</i>. More elaborate +than the <i>Treatise</i>, it too suggests that rhetoric is decoration. +Continued interest in the stylistic tools is also seen in Puttenham’s +The <i>Arte of English Poesie</i> (1589). When we move to the latter +part of the sixteenth century and then change the genre as exemplified +in Day’s <i>The English Secretorie</i>, we see a stylistic extension to +the art of letter writing which borrowed rhetorical terms and rules and +applied them to written correspondence. The emphasis in these rhetorics +on style is the same: ornateness in communication is achieved through +using the figures.</p> + +<span class = "pagenum">ix</span> +<p>When we look in the opposite direction, to works which preceded +Sherry, the figures, definitions, and examples in the <i>Treatise</i> +derive more from contemporaries than from the ancients. It relies +extensively upon intermediaries. Sherry explains that Erasmus and +Mosellanus will be major sources. Hence the <i>De Copia</i>, the +<i>Ecclesiastae</i>, and the <i>Tabulae de schematibus et tropis</i> are +used with regularity. Although further removed in time, the <i>Rhetorica +ad Herennium</i> is the primary ancient source. But beyond this +first-hand reliance on the ancients, examples from Vergil, Cicero, and +Terence, to mention several, as well as definitions of the figures, +depend heavily upon neo-classical intermediaries.</p> + +<p>Appended to the text on the figures of rhetoric is a seemingly +gratuitous section entitled “That chyldren oughte to be taught and +brought vp gently in vertue and learnynge, and that euen forthwyth from +theyr natiuitie: a declamacion of a briefe theme, by Erasmus of +Roterodame.” This essay occupies almost two-thirds of the +<i>Treatise</i> and receives its first English translation from the +Latin at the hands of Sherry. William Woodward in his <i>Desiderius +Erasmus Concerning the Aim and Method of Education</i> gave us another +English translation in 1904. One other translation, in German, by August +Israel, is entitled “Vortrag über die Nothwendigkeit, die Knaben gleich +von der Geburt an in einer für Freigeborne würdigen Weise sittlich und +wissenschaftlich ausbilden zu lassen.”</p> + +<span class = "pagenum">x</span> +<p>The reason for the inclusion of the Erasmian essay is never clearly +stated in the other sections of the <i>Treatise</i>. Nor do the other +translators suppose a reason. From the internal evidence of the essay +and from headnotes preceding it, we may assume that the purpose is one +of supplying readers with an example of amplification of a brief theme, +first illustrated in miniature, and then full blown into a long +declamation. The essay does not appear to be illustrating the numerous +figures discussed in the initial section of the work.</p> + +<p>Of Sherry we know little. Beyond the dates in the DNB, we infer from +his works that he had an intense interest in English and had a desire +for his countrymen to communicate well in the vernacular. He was +interested in religion, was most likely a Protestant, and hoped to +continue an interest in religion which he developed in his youth. He was +also a teacher. And although Latin was still a living language, the task +of inculcating a new tongue in the students fell to the schoolmaster; +Sherry was active in this capacity. This does not weaken an acclamation +we possess of the man: “He was a Person elegantly learned.”</p> + +<p class = "right smallcaps">Herbert W.

It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> |
