"Waiting for an Aristotle": A Moment in the History of the Basic Writing Movement.
Hunter, Paul
College English, v54 n8 p914-27 Dec 1992
Demonstrates how an issue of the "Journal of Basic Writing," published in 1980 as a memorial for theorist Mina Shaughnessy, resembles structurally the funeral orations of Ancient Greece. Divides the issue into three parts: praise, lament, and consolation. Discusses political implications of the issue. (HB)
