The seven deadly virtues and other lively essays

"In this career-spanning intellectual autobiography, inspiring educator and writer Lynn Z. Bloom brings to the fore the trials and triumphs she has experienced in coming of age as a scholar, teacher, wife, mother, grandmother, and especially writer. A pioneering voice in the field of composition studies (before the discipline even had that name) and a chronic nonconformist, she is a lifelong advocate of opportunity, authenticity, and expression. Taking a stance in favor of bold creativity in living, teaching, and writing, Bloom warns against the snares and sneers of the seven deadly virtues - duty, rationality, conformity, efficiency, order, economy, and punctuality - that so often subvert the mission of education and the potential of expressive communication."--BOOK JACKET.
