New to the Eighth Edition
Though the purpose of the text remains the introduction of rhetorical and linguistic principles to help students organize and develop college-level courses, there is also additional material in appendix 1 to help students learn grammar, sentence structure, and other skills important to the editing process.
A second appendix includes a discussion of important skills and principles related to the writing of collegiate research papers using MLA (Modern Language Association) style. Coverage of the research paper ends with a full-length annotated student paper that illustrates all the basic principles and formats in the latest MLA style.
As such, A Reader for College Writers has now become an introduction to collegiate writing that includes a rhetoric, a reader, a grammar and editing manual, and a research guide.
