I just had a chance to read this article and thought others might be
interested in it:
Jennifer Clary-Lemon. “Shifting Tradition: Writing Research in
Canada.” American Review of Canadian Studies 39.2 (June 2009): 94-111.
It provides an interesting synthesis and overview of research in
writing studies in Canada since 1953, the year before A.S.P.
Woodhouse's address to the Royal Society of Canada that distanced the
study and teaching of writing from literary studies. Woodhouse opposed
"training in writing" to "reading as a form of intelligent recreation."
