Twenty Years In: An Essay in Two Parts
Heilker, Paul
College Composition and Communication, v58 n2 p182-212 Dec 2006
Part I of this essay traces the evolution of my understanding of the exploratory essay as a discursive form and a genre for teaching writing. Part II explores my motivations for advocating a polarized definition of the essay and then concludes with a call to expand the purview of composition beyond first-year courses.
