Synopsis

Clarity of Purpose defines the new edition of Writing Analytically. A thoughtful re-ordering of material first focuses on the aims and methods of analysis. Next the student is challenged to analyze the evidence, build a better thesis statement, and finally, evolve the thesis- the conceptual core of Writing Analytically, Second Edition. These fundamental improvements provide a new edition that keeps its balanced process approach, critical thinking edge, and useful revision strategies.

About the Author

David Rosenwasser teaches at Muhlenberg College, a small liberal arts college in Pennsylvania, where he has been since the late 1980s. He and Jill Stephen created and implemented the Writing Across the Curriculum program there through a series of faculty seminars. During these seminars, Dr. Rosenwasser and Dr. Stephen discovered that while content faculty from across the disciplines maintained disciplinary-specific writing protocols, they essentially wanted the same thing from student writing: analysis. From this premise, WRITING ANALYTICALLY was born. Dr. Rosenwasser received his B.A. from Grinnell College and his Ph.D. from the University of Virginia in the theory and history of narrative. His current interests include contemporary Irish literature and comic theory. His most recent literary papers include a study of the contemporary Irish writer Edna O'Brien in relation to the work of Joyce and Yeats as well as an analysis of the politics of Bruce Springsteen's albums during the Bush presidency, written collaboratively with a political science professor.
