Teaching Writing: Landmarks and Horizons - Softcover

By its arrangement and its contents, this collection of essays performs at least two important functions for teachers of writing: it demonstrates that the work of our recent past is still valuable, and it contributes to the efforts of recent years to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Such a new vision of our history and a new level of understanding between practitioners and theorists could provide the foundation for a more productive, enlightened disciplinary future.” Gary Tate, from the Foreword

The primary contribution of Teaching Writing: Landmarks and Horizons is to bring together the generations. Moreover, while the discipline seems to be entering into a period of greater attention to pedagogy, part two of this timely collection of stellar contributors and landmark essays brings a new understanding between theory and practice.” Pat Belanoff, coeditor of Nothing Begins with N”: New Investigations of Freewriting
