Twelve previously unpublished essays relate the teaching of writing to various aspects of postmodern thought, including feminism, neo-Marxist theories, the historiography of Michel Foucault, and cultural criticism. The first ten essays examine modes of discourse ranging from Socratic dialogue to the “false magic” of the National Enquirer, review the present disciplinary impulses of composition studies, and propose new directions for the teaching of writing. The two closing articles synthesize the arguments of the essays and respond critically to the collection as a whole.
