Contributing Editor. “Introduction” and “The Eighteenth Century.”

With this annotated bibliography, Horner provides researchers with an invaluable source for the continued and anticipated research of rhetoric history. Sections are divided by five significant historic periods: 1.) The Classical Period, 2.) The Middle Ages, 3.) The Renaissance, 4.) The Eighteenth Century, and 5.) The Nineteenth Century. Each section is comprised of a list of primary works arranged in chronological order relevant to that particular period, as well as a list of secondary sources.

Introduction addresses the “widening gulf” between literature and composition through an exploration of three historical facts. Horner’s examination of the conditions that created the “gap” between literature and composition continues in the twelve essays following her introduction. Hailed as one of the most cited works in the field of Rhetoric and Composition, Horner’s work continues to fuel debate and scholarship.
