Rhetorica Scan­di­navica has functioned as a sower of academic seeds. As the journal has grown, rhetoric courses and programmes have multiplied across Scandinavia. The journal is the major source of native-language literature in the field, and ­articles frequently find a place on ­curricula. Thus, Rhetorica Scan­di­navica has had a significant impact on the study of rhetoric in the Scandi­navian countries.

The 18 articles in this book are just a few highlights from 13 years – a total of over 225 peer-reviewed articles – of Rhetorica Scan­di­navica publications. They have been chosen to introduce some aspects of the study of rhetoric as it is performed in Scandinavia to a readership that is un­familiar with the three Scandinavian ­languages.
