| Description: |
This work offers a detailed history of the way that American colleges have thought of and approached the teaching of the subject of English composition between 1875 and 1925. It highlights the way Harvard University's composition programme tackled the matter. |
| Synopsis: |
This volume describes the formative years of English composition courses in college through a study of the most prominent documents of the time: magazine articles, scholarly reports, early textbooks, teachers' testimonies-and some of the actual student papers that provoked discussion. Includes writings by leading scholars of the era such as Adams Sherman Hill, Gertrude Buck, William Edward Mead, Lane Cooper, William Lyon Phelps, and Fred Newton Scott. |
