By focusing on basic writing at Yale and Harvard in the early to mid-twentieth century, the elegantly written Before Shaughnessy fills a historical gap in the disciplinary conversation and enriches our sense of basic writing by dismantling the stereotype of the 'typical' basic writer. Its fine-grained analyses of early basic writing programs hold far reaching consequences for the profession. --Kristie S. Fleckenstein, author of Embodied Literacies: Imageword and a Poetics of Teaching
