Two books that spring to mind: Harmonious Perfection: The Development of English Studies in Nineteenth-Century Anglo-Canadian College--Henry Hubert (1994) Intersections: Theory-Practice in the Writing Center--(ed.) Joan Mullin and Ray Wallace (1994)--this is a good, if not the best, representative of current thinking in the area of one-to-one instruction and writing centers. plus, to address the Basic Writer and related issues, you probably already have on your list Errors and Expectations by Mina Shaughnessey as well as Lives on the Boundary by Mike Rose. Do we get to see the list, Cathy? Jim Bell Ph.
