This free online handbook is a useful reference source for students who are studying style as it relates to speaking or writing. The information about rhetorical devices is as good as can be found in any reference guide covering the subject. Entries for specific terms could perhaps be improved with pronunciation tips because many students struggle with Greek. Richard Harris, the author, has also written _Writing with Clarity and Style: A Guide to Rhetorical Devices for Contemporary Writers_. The book provides more examples and includes exercises that may be used in the classroom.
The site is loaded with advertisements and is not designed for easy browsing or searching. However, a navigation table is provided, listing all the technical names of rhetorical devices.
