A major accomplishment. Berthoff has provided access to one of the more complex and fruitful thinkers on language in the twentieth century....Makes it less likely that we will lose sight of a pivotal and crucial figure in twentieth-century rhetoric. --Journal of Advanced Composition Richards is arguably the most important...theorist in the history of composition/rhetoric....Berthoff vigorously and colorfully represents an important cluster of related theories and teaching practices. --College Composition and Communication The selection presents Richards as indeed a thinker who deserves to be taken seriously in his contribution to rhetoric and who deserves to be read. Berthoff's book is a good means to this end. --Virginia Quarterly Review Reveals a complex yet surprisingly clear view of language and learning that has far-reaching implications for all teachers of writing and literature....These selections should stimulate thoughtful re-examinations of our own positions on the important issues Richards addresses. --Freshman English News An excellent edition for my students in the rhetorical theory course....A masterpiece of primary material for the undergraduate student. --Glenn Smith, University of Central Arkansas Its arrival is timely....The selections are significant contributions to current theory and practice. --David B. Merrell, Abilene Christian University Important for anyone concerned with structuralism, semiotics, reader response theory, or hermeneutics. --Gene Doty, University of Missouri, Rolla It would be impossible to overemphasize how judiciously Berthoff has edited and configured the texts of Richards on Rhetoric. It is not a book for casual reading, but for reading and rereading--an effort which is well repaid. --Semiotica
