From the early 1940s through the 1960s, some of the most important
articles in rhetoric and composition were written by University of
Chicago faculty, and it was these articles that became the
touchstones of rhetorical education in the institutional return to
rhetoric in the latter half of the twentieth century. Despite the
immense rhetorical output of these University of Chicago
professors, there has not been, to date, a book-length treatment of
why these writers focused their attention on the importance of
rhetoric in the writing class. Not only that, but there has not
been a revisionist account of how these articles were constructed
or how the teaching of rhetoric and composition has often been
misguided as a result of an uncritical acceptance of these articles
in the rhetorical tradition. By organizing these articles based on
their University of Chicago context, Rhetoric at the University of
Chicago sheds new light on the beginnings of rhetoric and
composition and demonstrates the significance of historical context
in avoiding the misuse of these articles as foundationalist
rhetorical history.
