Description
Grenville Kleiser, formerly instructor in public speaking at Yale Divinity School, published this book with Funk and Wagnalls in September 1916. Kleiser, author of guides to speaking in public and to self-confidence in speech, turns here from the platform to daily talk. Chapters cover the art of talking, types of talkers, talkers and talking, phrases for talkers, and the speaking voice.
Later sections teach how to tell a story, talk in salesmanship, handle mannerisms, and speak in public. The advice is plain and practical, aimed at readers who want to be clear, pleasant, and effective in conversation. Readers get an early twentieth-century manual of talk as a social art, still useful for its stress on listening, brevity, and voice.
