Fitting Words Further Reading

A Reading Further section in Fitting Words Rhetoric

Each lesson of the Fitting Words Rhetoric textbook has a section called “Reading Further.” Reading Further suggestions are given for the student or teacher who wants to learn more about the topic in the lesson. These are often a section of books referred to by the author to verify his own understanding of the concepts in each lesson. The readings are completely optional and included for those who want to do further research.
