Debra Hawhee. Composition History and the Harbrace College Handbook.

Hawhee, Debra. "Composition History and the Harbrace College Handbook." CCC 50.3 (1999): 504-523.

Abstract:

Hawhee writes a 65-year critical history of John C. Hodges' The Harbrace College Handbook to examine how it 1) writes the discipline of composition, and 2) creates particular subjectivities for both teacher and student. Her research is based on the John C. Hodges archival collection held at the University of Tennessee Knoxville Special Collections Library.
