| Description: |
Argues that King spread his vision of a beloved community across time through the power of sermonic language. Contributors examine five texts: "I Have a Dream", "Letter From Birmingham Jail", "Death of Evil on the Seashore", "A Time to Break Silence" and "I've Been to the Mountain-top". |
| Synopsis: |
The nine essays in this volume offer critical studies of the range of King s public discourse as forms of sermonic rhetoric. They focus on five diverse and relative short examples from King s body of work: Death of Evil on the Seashore, Letter from Birmingham Jail, I Have a Dream, A Time to Break Silence, and I ve Been to the Mountaintop. Taken collectively, these five works span both the duration of King s career as a public advocate but also represent the broad scope of his efforts to craft and project a persuasive vision a beloved community that persists through time." |
