| Summary | "The Training of a Public Speaker" by Grenville Kleiser is a guidebook on the art of public speaking written in the early 20th century. The text delves into the principles of rhetoric and eloquence, emphasizing the communicative power that effective public speaking holds in persuading and influencing audiences. It is designed for those aspiring to enhance their speaking skills and aims to make the ancient techniques of oratory accessible to modern readers. At the start of the book, Kleiser discusses the significance of eloquence and its role in contemporary discourse. He contrasts the lengthy, dramatic speaking styles of the past with the succinct, direct approach expected in modern public speaking. The opening portion establishes the framework for his teachings, invoking historical references while underscoring the practical necessities of effective communication today. He highlights the essential qualities for public speakers, such as clear expression, emotional engagement, and the ability to adapt to audience dynamics, thereby laying a foundation for the detailed content that follows in the book.
