Now in its third edition, this comprehensive textbook is designed to serve as a speech-making reference for advanced students of public speaking.

The book presumes that readers have prior experience with basic public speaking skills and seeks to enhance those abilities with references to classical concepts, the inclusion of sample speeches, and questions for speech criticism. This new edition includes a greater diversity of speeches and new material on populist rhetoric and civility to outline the importance of civic discourse in an age of polarization. It also includes suggestions for speaking to remote audiences.

Providing users with the opportunity to increase their speaking abilities across a wide variety of complex and specific contexts, this student-engagement focused and flexible text serves as a core textbook for upper-level undergraduate public speaking courses.

Online resources for instructors include an instructor's manual and test bank offering guidance on syllabus construction, lecture content, and classroom activities. They are available at www.routledge.com/9781032531861.

Industry Reviews

"Hostetler and Kahl have provided an engaging text for upper-division or honors speech and rhetoric classes, as well as a valuable supplement to any speechwriting course and a useful resource for campus communication centers. Advanced Public Speaking presents a clear case for the fundamentals of public speaking that cut across academic disciplines, career fields, civic life, and presentation formats. Notable strengths of the text include its attention to civility in a polarized populace and its chapter about delivering mediated, or 'on camera,' speeches. Students will appreciate the real-world examples and instructors will appreciate the assignment suggestions provided throughout the volume." - Christina M. Knopf, Ph.D.; Professor of Communication and Media Studies & Public Speaking Coordinator , State University of New York at Cortland

"The third edition of Advanced Public Speaking is at the forefront of texts on this important subject. Hostetler and Kahl have created a book that will inspire students and instructors alike. Public speaking is more than just entertainment or a job skill, but a function of leadership. In a world where people feel less connected, but need public speaking more than ever, this book builds both foundational principles and advanced skills that students can use in a variety of situations." - Jason A. Edwards, Ph.D.; Professor of Communication Studies, Bridgewater State University
