Edwin Hopkins and the Costly Labor of Composition Teaching
Popken, Randall
College Composition and Communication, v55 n4 p618-641 Jun 2004
Using a "historical case study" of Edwin M. Hopkins, this article explores what Bruce Horner calls the "material social conditions" of teaching writing early in the twentieth century. It shows how Hopkins's own attitude and response to the demands of being a writing teacher serve as a backdrop for understanding his local and national crusade to improve labor conditions for faculty.
