Sommario/riassunto

Lance Massey and Richard Gebhardt offer in this collection many signs that composition again faces a moment of precariousness, even as it did in the 1980's - the years of the great divorce from literary studies.

Composition is poised to move not from modern to postmodern but from process to post process, from a service-oriented ""field"" to a research-driven ""discipline."" Some would say we are already there. Momentum is building to replace ""composition""
