The Roots of Modern Writing Instruction: Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Britain.
Horner, Winifred Bryan
Rhetoric Review, v8 n2 p322-45 Spr 1990
Examines eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British writing instruction, which consisted of precepts reinforced by practice. Notes that the gradual abandonment of Latin as the language of education and culture, the shift to a literate culture, and the proliferation of books and periodicals altered writing instruction. (SG)
