“A discipline comes of age when someone realizes that it possesses a history and stands for something worth arguing about—that it makes a difference, is thereby political, and can no longer be considered transparent and value-neutral. Such coming-of-age presupposes historical consciousness, not just the marked passage of time. This sense of consciousness David R. Russell offers to the profession of composition in Writing in the Academic Disciplines, a history of writing instruction seen ‘not through the lens of the English department or through the lens of cultural and rhetorical history’ but rather ‘from the perspective of academic institutions, especially their disciplinary structure. . . .’”—Technical Communication Quarterly

“Writing in the Academic Disciplines is fascinating reading. The research is thorough and detailed. Along with contemporary and historical articles and books about writing instruction, Russell reviews and quotes from articles and books written by educators at the time, from college catalogs, and from personal reports of instruction. The personal accounts add human interest to the historical analysis, and the discussion of the cross-curricular writing programs as reflective of educational movements broadens the focus beyond English studies. In the depth and variety of its coverage, Writing in the Academic Disciplines adds dimension to other historical accounts of twentieth-century writing instruction.”

—Journal of Technical Writing and Communication
