Description

Connors provides a history of composition and its pedagogical approaches to form, genre, and correctness. He shows where many of the today\u2019s practices and assumptions about writing come from, and he translates what our techniques and theories of teaching have said over time about our attitudes toward students, language and life. Connors locates the beginning of a new rhetorical tradition in the mid-nineteenth century, and from there, he discusses the theoretical and pedagogical innovations of the last two centuries as the result of historical forces, social needs, and cultural shifts. This important book proves that American composition-rhetoric is a genuine, rhetorical tradition with its own evolving theria and praxis. As such it is an essential reference for all teachers of English and students of American education.

Author Biography:

Robert J. Connors is professor of English at the University of New Hampshire. He is the co-editor of Selected Essays of Edward P. Corbett and Essays on Classical Rhetoric and Modern Discourse. He also coauthored the St. martin's Guide to Teaching Writing
