Quixote's Visor: A Rhetorical Turn.
Green, William H.
College English, v60 n1 p57-66 Jan 1998
Discusses "Quixote's visor," a rhetorical turn that conceals a logical gap, an appeal to frustration or necessity. Suggests that the form of Quixote's visor, the testing of a series of possibilities, is a way of deriving logical and rhetorical inferences in response to acts of questioning. Discusses two "cousins"--Sherlock's visor and Darwin's visor. (RS)
