摘要：Originally submitted in 1999 as a dissertation for the University of Wisconsin, Robert
Alexander Kraig’s Woodrow Wilson and the Lost World of the Oratorical Statesman was
published in 2004 by Texas A&M University Press as the ninth in its Presidential Rhetoric
Series. Tracing Woodrow Wilson’s (1856-1924) development as a student, scholar, and
politician, Kraig presents an intriguing look at the place of classical rhetoric and classical ideals
of oratory in turn-of-the-century America. As he follows Wilson through his many years of
higher education, Kraig gives a concise summary of the status of rhetorical studies as the
country entered the twentieth century and saw the reduction of this academic field to
composition and belles lettres.
