Abstract
Theodore Parker's sermon, “Discourse Occasioned by the Death of Daniel Webster,” is of interest because of its unusual, persuasive strategy. Parker presents a negative judgment of Webster's career that is impelling because he achieves an argumentative synthesis developed through an extended metaphor between Webster's political biography and the tragic story.Keywords
