Lori Ostergaard is associate professor and chair of the department of writing and rhetoric at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan.

This volume deepens our understanding of writing education by moving beyond the university setting to examine the high school and normal school context. In so doing the book engages narratives familiar to the field and introduces stories that have been overlooked or ignored, complicating our histories while broadening our methodological horizons. It should be required reading for all writing teachers and historians.
