The International Society for the History of Rhetoric
The purpose of the International Society for the History of Rhetoric is to promote study of the theory and practice of rhetoric in all periods and languages. The Society fosters inquiry into the relationship of rhetoric to poetics, literary theory and criticism, philosophy, politics, religion, law, and other aspects of the cultural context.

The Society was founded in 1977 and has since held biennial congresses in Europe and North America. Currently about thirty different countries are represented in the Society's membership, and this international scope is reflected in society governance. In connection with its activities and publications, the Society recognizes English, German, Italian, Latin, and Spanish as its official languages.

Membership in the Society is open to all individuals who subscribe to its aims. Membership includes receiving the Society's journal, Rhetorica, as well as its semi-annual, Rhetoric Newsletter.

Submission of Manuscripts

The author’s identity should not otherwise be revealed in the manuscript. The title should be repeated on the first page of the text.

Three copies of the printed manuscript with a 100-word abstract should be submitted. Manuscripts, including text, quotations, and notes, must be double-spaced throughout. Notes should appear at the end of the manuscript. Quotations of more than 100 words should be set as separate paragraphs indented from the left margin. A detailed style sheet is available from the editor and will be sent to authors whose articles have been accepted for publication. Authors whose manuscripts have been accepted should be prepared to send the contribution as an email attachment or on computer disk.
