   List

 



Below are two links, one to a list of recommended texts and the other for a list of essays, for those interested in the study of basic writing. Think of these lists as ongoing compilations of work that scholars active in the field of basic writing have found useful; as such, expect that this list will continue to evolve.

Many thanks to Mary Brown, Fred Hildebrand, and Steve Robinson for contributing their original lists; we've updated them to include texts and essays that are covered in the Bedford Bibliography for Teachers of Basic Writing, published 2002 by Bedfords/St. Martin's.  As George Otte originally suggested, these texts and essays have been annotated for the Bibliography.  The second edition of the Bibliography was published in 2005 and is available from your Bedford/St. Martin’s sales representative.

The Bibliography also is online at http://bedfordstmartins.com/basicbib/.
