John Quincy Adams’ Lectures on Rhetoric and Oratory (ed.)

Due to the lack of availability of an error-free electronic version of this seminal work on rhetoric, I have painstakingly edited it in order to preserve its readability and availability. The lectures, originally delivered at Harvard University, and published in 1810, are in the public domain.

Gustav Freytag’s Technique of the Drama (ed.)

Once again, due to the lack of availability of an error-free electronic version of this work on structure and theory of the stage drama, I have painstakingly begun editing it in order to preserve its readability and availability. This edition is of an English translation of the 6th edition, originally published in 1894. Both the original German edition, and the English translation, are in the public domain.
