Riassunto

This distinctive rhetoric/reader is based on the premise that all writing, regardless of genre, is creative and grows out of specific rhetorical situations. Presented with readings on this basis, students no longer think of “literary” texts as irrelevant to the kinds of writing they themselves will do. The Literate Writer includes more than 150 reading selections that represent a variety of genres, as well as student papers.
