About the Author:
James E. Seitz taught and served as director of writing at Long Island University, Brooklyn, and is currently an assistant professor of English at the University of Pittsburgh, where he teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in composition, literature, and literacy education.
Review:
“We are, I think, at the end of an era, not only in composition but in English studies generally. . . . Not since the early 1960s have people in English more keenly felt the need for fresh perspectives. And fresh perspectives, among other things, is what this book has to offer. Quite apart from its innovations in the theory of metaphor, Seitz’s argument deserves a wide readership because of the new horizons it opens on teaching and research.”
