The Performance of Self in Student Writing

by Thomas Newkirk

Book Overview

This text questions why when students are asked to engage in personal writing, they represent themselves in ways which their teachers find unsatisfying. It examines whether the writing itself is the problem, or the aesthetic standards by which it is judged.
