Office Of Assertion: An Art Of Rhetoric For Academic Essay | 1 Edition

Details about Office Of Assertion: An Art Of Rhetoric For Academic Essay:

Scott F. Crider addresses the intelligent university student with respect and humor. A short but serious book of rhetoric, it is informed by both the ancient rhetorical tradition and recent discoveries concerning the writing process. Though practical, it is not simply a how-to manual; though philosophical, it never loses sight of writing itself. Crider combines practical guidance about how to improve an academic essay with reflection on the purpose - educational, political, and philosophical - of such improvement.
