"There is One Story Worth Telling": An Essay for James Britton and Nancy Martin
Lofty, John S.
English Education, v42 n1 p29-60 Oct 2009
In 1992, the University of New Hampshire (UNH) held a conference featuring leaders in the field of composition studies, attended by a wish list of luminaries, including Lil Brannon, Ed Corbett, Peter Elbow, Donald Murray, and Ken Macrorie. James Britton and Nancy Martin flew over from England to join the conversation. The prestigious research awards of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) now recognize the contributions of James Britton, Janet Emig, and James Moffett, all of whom were keynote speakers. As an Englishman, the author was honoured by the opportunity to interview Britton and Martin. He presents in this article the found taped interviews from 1992 with Britton and Martin. The interviews add deepened perspective to Britton's and Martin's contributions to NCTE. These contributions reflect the enduring concepts and legacies of two world-renowned educators.
