Performing Prose: The Study and Practice of Style in Composition

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments The collaboration that made this book possible goes well beyond the interchange of the two old friends who are the coauthors. In addition to students at the University of South Carolina and Texas A&M University who read through and responded to various drafts in our advanced writing and rhetoric classes, we would like to thank several colleagues who used portions of the draft text in classes they taught and provided suggestions and encouragement: Monika Shehi of the University of South Carolina, David Johnson of Washington State University, and Elias DominguezBarajas of Texas A&M. Our thanks also go to Jacqueline Palmer and Sarah Hart of Texas A&M who read and commented on many parts of the manuscript. We are grateful to Kristine Priddy, to the anonymous reviewers of the manuscript, and the staff at Southern Illinois University Press, a publisher known for its outstanding contributions to the study of writing and rhetoric, for seeing this book into print and maintaining throughout the process the spirit of collegiality in which it was originally conceived. We would also like to thank SIUP for permission to adapt some of the material appearing in the sixth chapter of the present volume from Jimmie Killingsworth’s Appeals in Modern Rhetoric. xiii +ROFRPE.LOO)URQWPDWWHULQGG $0 +ROFRPE.LOO)URQWPDWWHULQGG $0 Performing Prose +ROFRPE.LOO)URQWPDWWHULQGG $0 +ROFRPE.LOO)URQWPDWWHULQGG $0 ...
