In Illo Tempore

Right then, just a brief post to begin this. So far I've enjoyed Frye's book (though I've forgotten to bring it, and my notes on it, with me), and am just wondering whether we're supposed to have read the first part or the first chapter. Not being overly prone to being gung-ho, I've done the latter. Fairly straightforward I thought, and dug also his moving from exclusive to inclusive modes of writing. I remember somewhere Aristotle actually giving a guide to rhetoric as needing Ethos (being the regard in which the speaker is held by his audience), Pathos (playing on the emotions of the audience), and Logos (being the quality of reasoning within the speech), and can't help but notice how in each successive mode one aspect is culled (or at least the attempt to cull is made). From rhetoric we move to dialectic, where we lose Ethos, and the argument made is supposed as standing as a complete entity in itself, divorced from the arguer. From dialectic to descriptive and Pathos falls by the wayside, leaving us with a text solely based on Logos, with no emotion and no connection to the author.
