First Person

"In (First Person)[superscript 2], Day and Eodice offer one of the few book-length studies of co-authoring since Lunsford and Ede's volume over a decade ago. The central research here involves in-depth interviews with ten successful academic collaborators from a range of disciplines and settings. As the study develops, Day and Eodice find that their informants not only provide a window into the processes of current scholarship in writing, but also come to stand as a critique of traditional practice in English departments. Throughout the book, Day and Eodice interrupt themselves with reflections on their presuppositions about their research, and on their own processes and challenges in writing this book. (First Person)[superscript 2] is a well-centered volume that is disciplined and restrained in its research but is also layered and multivocal in presentation, and ends with some provocative conclusions."--BOOK JACKET.
