I work in this field and can tell you that there is much in print. One good place to start would be Winifred Bryan Horner's _The Present State of Scholarship in Historical and Contemporary Rhetoric_ (1991, I believe), as well as back issues of _Rhetorica_, the journal of the International Society for the History of Rhetoric, ISSN 0734-8584, which is now in its 16th volume. _Quarterly Journal of Speech_ and _Rhetoric Society Quarterly_ may be of some help as well. See also James J. Murphy, _Renaissance Eloquence_ ; Thomas M. Conley, _Rhetoric in the Western Tradition_ (Chicago, 1991), George Kennedy, _Classical Rhetoric and its Christian and Secular Tradition from Ancient to Modern Times_ (1980), Lawrence D. Green, _John Rainold's Oxford Lectures on Aristotle's Rhetoric_ (Delaware, 1986), Peter Mack, ed. _Renaissance Rhetoric_ (St. Martin's, 1994), Annabel Patterson, _Hermogenes and the Renaissance_ (Princeton, 1970); Debora K. Shuger, _Sacred Rhetoric_ (Princeton, 1988). There's more. These works all have further bibliographies, and other list members will doubtless add more titles.
