Academic / Scholar
20th-21st century
American scholar of classical rhetoric, known for his work on Ciceronian rhetorical techniques in legal and political oratory.

Uncle Jerry recommends Enos's scholarship on Cicero's use of litotes as context for understanding Taylor's rhetorical technique of asserting something by denying it, a device that appears across the catalogue.
