In this classic text, Joseph Harris traces the evolution of college
writing instruction since the Dartmouth Seminar of 1966. A Teaching
Subject offers a brilliant interpretative history of the first
decades during which writing studies came to be imagined as a
discipline separable from its partners in English studies.
Postscripts to each chapter in this new edition bring the history
of composition up to the present. Reviewing the development of the
field through five key ideas, Harris unfolds a set of issues and
tensions that continue to shape the teaching of writing today.
Ultimately, he builds a case, now deeply influential in its own
right, that composition defines itself through its interest and
investment in the literacy work that students and teachers do
together. Unique among English studies fields, composition is,
Harris contends, a teaching subject.
