Writing Analytically with Readings

by David Rosenwasser, Jill Stephen

Writing Analytically With Readings (Second Edition) combines the authors' best-selling writing guide, Writing Analytically (Sixth Edition), with a reader that teaches users how to have ideas and develop them in an academic setting and beyond. This "two-in-one" text offers a book-length treatment of analysis, a form of thinking and writing required in virtually all college courses but frequently overshadowed in writing texts by emphasis on argument, expressive writing, or the traditional rhetorical modes. The writing guide is accompanied by a thematically arranged collection of readings and images--material for writers to write about and to use as models and lenses in doing their own writing about the world.

[Caleb Chan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Academically life-changing. Practical. Pulses with lucid insight, throbs with suitable examples, and is heartily direct. Will change the way you think against, toil for, smell down, write up, and submit to an essay. Practical. Gets postermodern-preachy at times on the theory of meaning—you can decide whether or not this is a good thing. And practical.

Returning to this textbook in 2023. Still so good!

I think the 5-step analysis is bullshit, but we had to learn it for class. The rest of the book is pretty useful, though.

This is the essential book for student writers and their teachers.

I wish I'd had this book at the beginning of my academic career.
