Recent developments in rhetorical criticism have challenged the presump
tion that classical discourse is best analyzed by itsown theoretical tenets. In fact,
the advances in rhetorical criticism in the last half century have enabled us to
view classical rhetoric anew. Perhaps themost stunning achievements have been
in the area of orality and literacy.Due to such scholars asWalter Ong (for exam
ple, Orality and Literacy, 1982) and Eric Havelock (for example, The Muse
Learns toWrite, 1986), we now have invaluable insights into the composing pro
cesses of oral and written communication. Through such scholars we see the

criticism thatVictorians had found inMatthew Arnold. Hunt in particular held
