佐藤信夫编著的《修辞感觉》首先梳理了修辞学的发展简史，作者认为，修辞学作为辩论术和诗学即作为赋予语言以说服功效和审美效果的“双重技术体系”由亚里士多德集大成，但古典修辞学自此之后便不断摇摆于辩论术和诗学之间，这种两面性历经迂回曲折，一直保持到近代欧洲。《修辞感觉》中发现，所谓“双重技术体系”存在一个重夫遗漏，这就是忽视了，修辞的“发现性认识的造型功能”，它是修辞学的“第三功能”，也是最根本的功能，作者以此发现为视点，对修辞学的七种修辞格作了非常深刻而独到的界定和阐释

This book presents an inside look at how the professionals read and write. Long before there were creative writing workshops and degrees, how did aspiring writers learn to write? By reading the work of their predecessors and contemporaries, says the author. In "Reading Like a Writer", Prose invites you to sit by her side and take a guided tour of the tools and the tricks of the masters. She reads the work of the very best writers, Dostoyevsky, Flaubert, Kafka, Austen, Dickens, Woolf, Chekhov, and discovers why these writers endure. She takes pleasure in the long and magnificent sentences of Philip Roth and the breath-taking paragraphs of Isaac Babel; she is deeply moved by the brilliant characterization in George Eliot's "Middlemarch". She looks to John Le Carre for a lesson in how to advance plot through dialogue, to Flannery O'Connor for the cunning use of the telling detail, and to James Joyce and Katherine Mansfield who offer clever examples of how to employ gesture to create character. She cautions readers to slow down and pay attention to words, the raw material out of which literature is crafted. Written with passion, humor, and wisdom, "Reading Like a Writer" will inspire readers to return to literature with a fresh eye and an eager heart.
