Paine has reconceptualized the recent history of rhetoric, producing a book everyone in the field will need to read and absorb. - John C. Brereton, author of The Origins of Composition Studies in the American College, 1875-1925: A Documentary History I appreciate Paine's argument that the situated history of composition has cooperated with a protection, not an activation, of the student-as-individual who is not a participant in receiving and forming public persuasion. This argument about the isolated, self-protected 'individual' student is quite important now, as is Paine's critique of Berlin and others' histories on the basis of their avoiding 'local,' more thorough investigations. - Susan Miller, University of Utah Author InformationCharles Paine is Assistant Professor of English at the University of New Mexico.
