Models, Mod-Rhets, and English Composition Teachers.

Pierstorff, Don K.

Teaching English in the Two-Year College, v9 n1 p25-30 Fall 1982

Compares models and theories of modern rhetoric and traditional composition, initially lamenting the complexities of the former and simplicity of the latter. On closer examination, the article decries the "science" of modern rhetoric, predicting an even greater departure in the future from the creative aspects of composition. (HTH)
