Synopsis

English composition ranks among the most important courses in the cur­riculum,” the authors note in their Preface to this new edition, a conviction evident both in the authors’ emphasis on methodology and in the renewed at­tention the subject is receiving in col­leges and universities today.

 

The book is a fresh version of a text that for nearly a decade has been widely adopted and much respected in the United States and abroad. As previous users will know, it is self-contained, re­quiring no reader,” and is sequential in exposition, one chapter deriving from another with logical inevitability, thus rendering a syllabus unnecessary. In addition, it requires only session-by-session assignments, thereby simpli­fying the planning of its use as a text.

 

The revised edition continues the original organization: the book is di­vided into two major parts (1) The Organization of Themes and (2) The Development of Paragraphs and the Nature of Evidence. New examples and exercises have been added, and scrupu­lous revision has been made to clarify points which may have been in the slightest degree ambiguous in the previous version.
