Clockwork Rhetoric - The Language and Style of Steampunk

Explores how the aesthetic and cultural movement “Steampunk” persuades audiences and wins new acolytes. Steampunk is an aesthetic style grounded in the Victorian era, in clothing and accoutrements modelled on a heightened and hyper-extended age of steam. This volume recognises that steampunk, a unique popular culture phenomenon, presents a prime opportunity for rhetorical criticism.
