Abstract
Wayne Booth (1921–2005) had a profound impact on both literary criticism and on the re‐emergence of rhetorical studies in the twentieth century. He worked on subjects as diverse as narrative technique, theories of irony, and the nature of assent in argument. While Booth began his career as a specialist in eighteenth‐century British literature, trained by the neo‐Aristotelian critic R. S. Crane, his work regularly transcended historical and methodological categorization. At the time of his death he was the George M. Pullman Professor Emeritus of Distinguished Service for the Department of English Language and Literature for the University of Chicago.
