The Short Prose Reader (12 Rev ed)

This rhetorically organized reader, maintains the best features of the earlier editions: lively reading selections supported by helpful apparatus to integrate reading and writing in college composition and reading courses.

In working through the text, the student progresses from key aspects of the writing and reading processes to chapters on the essential patterns of writing and then to more rigorous forms of analysis and argument.

Each chapter provides diverse and lively prose models suited for discussion, analysis, and imitation.
