28. In the sixteenth century the Elizabethan actors
were sometimes referred to as “the rhetoricians.” This
was natural in a time that studied pronuntiatio as
much as the other four parts of rhetoric: inventio ,
dispositio , elocutio , and memoria . See B. L. Joseph’s
fine study, Elizabethan Acting , in which from the
sixteenth century manuals of grammar and rhetoric
he derives the numerous techniques of dramatic
delivery and action with which every Elizabethan
school child was acquainted.
