Rhetorical Criticism
Kuypers work in rhetorical criticism involves critical commentary on the state of the art in the field of rhetorical criticism. Several publications demonstrate his effort to explain advocacy based criticism: “Must We All Be Political Activists?” (2000) and “Criticism, Politics, and Objectivity: Redivivus ” (2001) are two such works. Kuypers has also edited Rhetorical Criticism: Perspectives in Action (2009) in which he explains rhetoric, rhetorical criticism, and also presents 16 different perspectives on how to do criticism.

Famous quotes containing the words rhetorical and/or criticism:
“Art has always been this—pure interrogation, rhetorical question less the rhetoric—whatever else it may have been obliged by social reality to appear.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher—a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It’s the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
