A history of the writing-across-the-curriculum movement. This second edition provides a comprehensive history of writing instruction outside general composition courses in American secondary and higher education from the 1870s through to the 1980s.

Trade Review
Writing in the Academic Disciplines is fascinating reading. The research is thorough and detailed. Along with contemporary and historical articles and books about writing instruction, Russell reviews and quotes from articles and books written by educators at the time, from college catalogs, and from personal reports of instruction. The personal accounts add human interest to the historical analysis, and the discussion of the cross-curricular writing programs as reflective of educational movements broadens the focus beyond English studies. In the depth and variety of its coverage, Writing in the Academic Disciplines adds dimension to other historical accounts of twentieth-century writing instruction. - Journal of Technical Writing and Communication
