From Thought to Theme: A Rhetoric and Reader for College English, Eighth Edition

From the Preface:
Although this Eighth Edition is thoroughly revised and reorganized, the book's purpose and plan are essentially the same as in previous editions: to guide students from thought to theme - to show them, through both precept and practice, how they can shape the raw materials of personal experience, observation, and reflection into clear and convincing expository or argumentative prose.
