Reviews
Hawk's remapping of the field's histories is complicated and ambitious. He takes a romp through histories of invention, vitalism, method, and dialectic from Aristotle forward, providing, among other things, a much-needed counter-history to James Berlin and a rich reading of Coleridge's method that breathes life into complex vitalisms that the field has worked at erasing. - Dr. Sherrie Gradin, Ohio University In this original and important contribution to composition scholarship, Byron Hawk sets out to correct a crucial misunderstanding that has plagued theory and historiography for three decades: a mischaracterization of vitalism. By providing a nuanced analysis of this crucial concept, Hawk effectively rewrites our intellectual history. A must read! - Gary A. Olson, Dean, College of Arts and Sciences, Illinois State University
