Gideon O. Burton's searchable website, 'Silva Rhetoricae: The Forest of Rhetoric', offers a detailed introduction to an extensive number of rhetorical tropes and schemes, and branches of rhetoric employed first in classical oratory, and subsequently taught in the Inns of Court, universities and grammar schools of Renaissance England. The site features a timeline of rhetorical texts, classical through to Renaissance, some including links to descriptions and outlines of works cited. There is also a useful site search facility which can also be used to search the Web, although searches do bring up some commercial websites.Burton provides a useful introduction to rhetoric for students of classical and Renaissance literature and culture and a very good quick reference source for postgraduates and academics.
