Voicing the Essay: Reading and Writing for Depth
John Whatley
The Author differs in his approach from many standard introductions to the essay genre by avoiding the impression that published (and famous) essays by professionals are in themselves appropriate models for imitation by undergraduate students. Rather, by focusing on particular features of style and technique, he offers the student devices which might be used in his or her own practice. In addition, he blends the study of small stylistic features with an overview of the argumentative and discursive properties of the essay. There is no obvious division between 鈥渇orm鈥� and 鈥渃ontent,鈥� which (if not 鈥渘ew鈥�) is refreshing and original in a 鈥渢extbook鈥� discussion. - Professor Hilary Turner, Department of English, University of the Fraser Valley
