Introduction
Keyword(s):
The introduction provides an overview of the longstanding division within the discipline of English between literary studies and composition studies. It briefly examines the writings of critics, most notably Wayne Booth, who seek a way of overcoming the hostilities that have long characterized the relationship between these two fields. The introduction then offers the central thesis of the book: that the relationship between literary studies and composition was complicated significantly by the introduction of French theory in the 1960s and 1970s. The incorporation of theory into English departments not only intensified existing antagonisms within the discipline but also forged new and unexpected alliances.
