Thomas Miller

The Evolution of College English (eBook, ePUB)

Literacy Studies from the Puritans to the Postmoderns

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Miller defines college English studies as literacy studies and examines how it has evolved in tandem with broader developments in literacy and the literate. He maps out "four corners" of English departments: literature, language studies, teacher education, and writing studies. Miller identifies their development with broader changes in the technologies and economies of literacy that have redefined what students write and read, which careers they enter, and how literature represents their experiences and aspirations.
