"Theory in rhetoric and composition has flourished over the past thirty years and especially in the past decade, as evidenced by the richness of the chapters in this book, aptly titled The Kinneavy Papers. Kinneavy's intellectual energy and commitment to the civic and ethical concerns of rhetoric remain a guiding beacon to the field. The essays in this book are a testament to his legacy." — from the Foreword by Lester Faigley"The essays in The Kinneavy Papers represent the kind of vigorous, seminal thinking and writing that so characterized James Kinneavy's life. The heart and soul of Kinneavy's professional life was the active promotion of theoretical and applied scholarship. The legacy of James L. Kinneavy will live on in the essays of this book." — from the Afterword by Phillip Sipiora
