Gracián, Wit, and the Baroque Age offers a long-awaited thorough and systematic understanding of Baltasar Gracián's thought. Emphasizing Gracián's theories on wit, this book shows that these theories are meant to explain and give method to every apprehension of ideas; it orderly unveils Gracián's art of invention. It also places this art within Gracián's whole comprehensive doctrine of séñorío, that is, mastery. This book is grounded on an exhaustive analysis of Gracián's complete works, direct reviews of classical and baroque theories of wit, and of baroque exemplars of eloquence. This book provides a fair and close view of the baroque rhetoric, at last.

The Author: Arturo Zárate Ruiz is a nationally awarded Mexican journalist who currently works at El Colegio de la Frontera Norte as a researcher of US-México border issues and arguments. He received his Ph.D. in Rhetorical Theory and History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
