Hunting for "Ethos" Where They Say It Can't Be Found.

Corder, Jim W.

Rhetoric Review, v7 n2 p299-316 Spr 1989

Traces the author's internal quarrel while looking for "ethos" in "the text." Asks whether those who write theory are sheltered from other kinds of writing; if they inevitably think of themselves as theorists, not as writers; and if one can know a text or just one's reading of the text. (RAE)
