\"\"<\/a>Sixteenth century Elizabethan treatises on rhetoric in the vernacular are relatively rare. Guillaume Coatalen offers annotated editions of Richard Reynolds\u2019s\u00a0The Foundacion of Rhetorike<\/em>\u00a0(1563), which has not been edited since the 1945 facsimile edition, and of William Medley\u2019s unknown\u00a0Brief Discourse on Rhetoricke<\/em>\u00a0which survives in a single manuscript dated 1575. While Reynolds\u2019s work is an English adaptation of Aphthonius’s\u00a0Progymnasmata<\/em>\u00a0and a preparation for Thomas Wilson\u2019s influential\u00a0Arte of Rhetoricke<\/em>\u00a0(1560), Medley\u2019s is broader in scope and contains the only full treatment of periodic prose in English in the period. Both works are essential to understand how Elizabethan rhetoric in the vernacular evolved, in particular in aristocratic circles, and its links with Continental developments, notably German.<\/p>\n
