Know about the book -

Writing Groups(English, Paperback, Gere Anne R.) is written by Gere Anne R. and published by Southern Illinois University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0809313545 (ISBN 10) and 9780809313549 (ISBN 13).

Drawing upon previously unpublished archival materials as well as historical accounts, Gere traces the history of writing groups in America, from their origins over a century ago to their recent reappearance in the works of Macrorie, Elbow, Murray, and others. From this historical perspective Gere examines the theoretical foundations of writing groups, challenging the traditional concept of writing as an individual performance. She offers instead a broader view of authorship that includes both individual and social dimensions, with implications not only for the teaching of composition but also for theories of rhetoric and literacy.
