Like its predecessors in Charles Bazerman's series on Reference
Guides to Rhetoric and Composition, REVISION: HISTORY, THEORY AND
PRACTICE explores the wide range of scholarship on revision while
bringing new light to bear on enduring questions. Starting with its
overview of conventional definitons and misconceptions about
revision, whether surface or deep, REVISION then offers both
theoretical and practical strategies designed to facilitate
post-secondary writing instruction. The twelve contributors examine
recent cognitive writing models and the roles of long- and
short-term memory in the writing process, demonstrating
theoretically why revision is difficult for novices. REVISION pays
close attention to the meaning and function of revision for various
writers, from basic to professional, creative, and second language
writers. REVISION concludes with a detailed presentation of
practical pedagogical strategies for teaching revision, with
emphasis on revision in textbooks, technology-rich contexts, and
peer review. Authors include Anne Becker, Cathleen Breidenbach,
David Stephen Calonne, Douglas Eyman, Catherine Haar, Alice
Horning, Kasia Kietlinska, Robert Lamphear, Cathy McQueen, Colleen
Reilly, Jeanie Robertson, and Carol Trupiano. ANNE BECKER is a
special instructor and the coordinator for journalism and
communication internships at Oakland University. ALICE HORNING
directs the Rhetoric Program at Oakland University and is a
professor of Rhetoric and Linguistics. She has published several
books on the nature of texts and human literacy, including, most
recently, REVISION REVISITED (Hampton, 2002). With Debra Dew, she
is the co-editor of UNTENURED FACULTY AS WRITING PROGRAM
ADMINISTRATORS: INSTITUTIONAL PRACTICES AND POLITICS (Parlor Press,
2006).
