Jonathan V. Crewe (1982), 'Rhetoric and Truth', in Unredeemed Rhetoric: Thomas Nashe and the Scandal of Authorship, Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, pp. 89-101; 113–14.

The troublesome rhetoric to which I referred in the first chapter, and with which I have remained in touch, only becomes troublesome insofar as it is conceived in proximate relation to logic ( dialectic) and in ultimate relation to truth, conceived as being on the "side" of logic but ideally independent of it. These relationships are antagonistic and competitive, never balanced or static. Questions of priority are always involved, an ultimate power of representation remains at stake, and no equilibrium is possible while the opposing, but also mutually constitutive, terms may each lay claim to ultimate exclusiveness.
