"Francesca Cauchi has produced a lucid and lively account of Nietzsche's oft-neglected practice of rhetoric. Comprising four case studies, this book guides the reader through the diverse philosophical styles employed by Nietzsche over the course of his writing career. Insightful, clever, and engaging, this book will appeal to anyone who has encountered Nietzsche's mastery of stylistic innovation." --Daniel Conway, Texas A&M University 'Francesca Cauchi offers a forensic analysis of Nietzsche's own rhetorical theory and practice; in so doing, she offers a reappraisal of his thought which is as radical and thought-provoking as her previous studies of Nietzsche. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in language, truth, and the logic of rhetoric.' -Paul Bishop, William Jacks Chair in Modern Languages, University of Glasgow. 'Francesca Cauchi's book is a bold attempt to take seriously the rhetorical dimension of Nietzsche's writings. She does not hold back from identifying in some of Nietzsche's most well-known texts what he himself called the "forcing, adjusting, abbreviating, omitting, padding, inventing, falsifying and everything else essential to interpretation" ( On the Genealogy of Morality III: 24).
