V's Pick #16: Cross-Talk in Comp Theory (Ed Victor Villanueva)

I read this for a class I took my second semester so this reading was more of a revisiting (it's about 1500 pages). I'm not going to go into detail but I will say it was my first foray into Comp Theory and the book responsible for my adoration of the subject. It's a well-chosen reader that holds the most seminal articles in the last 25 years by the big names: Perl, Flowers, Hayes, Sommers, Bizzell, etc.

Side note: you'll notice as I post about the theory books, I enjoy Comp scholarship a lot more than Rhetoric scholarship. Rhetoric informs Comp greatly, but I could read Comp theory any day over a lot of the writing on rhetoric. Go figure.
