But those reflective afterwords are somewhat<br \/>\ninformal; the phrase is not attributed to any source. What to do? I Googled<br \/>\naround and didn&#8217;t find anything promising (how I overlooked it, I cannot be<br \/>\nsure, although I bet &#8216;the&#8217; article threw me off), but I didn&#8217;t give up. Instead,<br \/>\nI emailed Professor Odell. <i>Research<\/i> in Y2K08, yeah? He got<br \/>\nback to me the same day and said that the phrase, he thought, was credited to<br \/>\nJack Selzer.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, I located the &#8216;golden age&#8217; reference in an <i>English Journal<\/i><br \/>\narticle by Elizabeth Blackburn-Brockman (whose mother-in-law, you might be<br \/>\nsurprised to learn, was middle school civics teacher and high school Spanish<br \/>\nteacher for D. and me both; in the civics class we had to memorize all of<br \/>\nMichigan&#8217;s 83 counties; I will not recite them for you here). That<br \/>\narticle: &quot;Prewriting, Planning, and Professional Communication,&quot; 91.2 (Nov.<br \/>\n2001). In the article, Blackburn-Brockman mentions almost the exact<br \/>\nphrase, &quot;a golden age of composition studies,&quot; and attributes it not to Selzer,<br \/>\nbut to Bob Root. She also cites Selzer&#8217;s 1983 <i>CCC<\/i> article, &quot;The<br \/>\nComposing Process of An Engineer,&quot; which offered a processual analysis of<br \/>\nengineer Kenneth Nelson, much in the same spirit as Emig&#8217;s <i>The Composing<br \/>\nProcess of Twelfth Graders<\/i> from 1971. Could this be the golden age?<br \/>\n1971-1983? <\/p>\n<p>The phrase from Root (whom I never met, but who taught in the English Dept.<br \/>\nwhere I took Freshman Composition in 1992 from his colleague, Phillip Dillman)<br \/>\nshows up in the Introduction to a collection of non-fiction he edited with<br \/>\nMichael Steinberg, <i><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Those-Who-Do-Can-Sourcebook\/dp\/0814118607\">Those Who Do, Can: Teachers Writing, Writers Teaching: A<br \/>\nSourcebook<\/a><\/i> (1996). Is there a copy in our Bird Library at Syracuse?<br \/>\nNo, of course not. Seems it&#8217;s one of the few books we <i>don&#8217;t<\/i> have.\n<\/p>\n<p>I considered emailing my program&#8217;s listserv to ask whether anyone had a copy<br \/>\nI could borrow, but rather than bother the list with a request, I figured I<br \/>\nwould try the library&#8217;s interlibrary loan system, ILLiad. I haven&#8217;t used<br \/>\nILLiad since 2005, so, of course, I couldn&#8217;t remember my password. I tried<br \/>\nto reset the password, and when I did, the system sent me a blank email message.<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s what was in the message: . Thus, here ends the<br \/>\ntrail for tonight. I know where the &quot;golden age&quot; reference comes from, and<br \/>\nthe source, to my surprise, is not quite as middle-of-the-road as I expected it<br \/>\nwould be. That said, I do think Root knows composition studies, or at<br \/>\nleast certain veins of it, very well, even if I couldn&#8217;t begin to speculate how<br \/>\nmany CCCC&#8217;s he&#8217;s attended (more and more often, I tend to think of disciplinary<br \/>\ncentrality in terms of trips to the flagship conference, whether verifiable or<br \/>\nguessed at; and yes, I know this is just <i>one<\/i> of many possible metrics).\n<\/p>\n<p>Why, after all, am I questing for the golden age reference? Well, for one<br \/>\nthing, my own research has lately gotten me thinking more about the implicit<br \/>\ndisciplinary prototypes underlying suggestions of disciplinary fragmentation<br \/>\n(viz., Smit&#8217;s endism or Fulkerson&#8217;s &quot;new theory wars&quot;). And so, if there has<br \/>\nbeen a golden age of composition studies, I&#8217;m curious about it, curious as well<br \/>\nabout the idea of disciplinary <i>ages<\/i> (and whatever it is that makes them<br \/>\nseem plausible).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>Off and on for the past few weeks I have been sleuthing around for reference to &quot;the golden age of composition studies.&quot; The phrase appears in quotation marks in Lee Odell&#8217;s &quot;Afterword&quot; to his 1986 CCCC address in Roen&#8217;s collection, Views from the Center.
