Abstract

Sirc's essay also uses the writing course as touchstone-this time, to wrestle initially "with the issues Allen Tate pondered in his 1952 essay . . . 'The Man of Letters in the Modern World.'" Sirc challenges contemporary instructors of writing, claiming that "the vox pop criticism of iTunes writing represents a new Attic style, one well worth studying and teaching to."
