First line
What kind of "occasion," exactly, is faced by anyone choosing to become an English teacher in these late, threatening decades of a most puzzling and threatening century?
From the rear cover
'Is it an exaggeration to say that the future of our reading/ writing/ thinking/ speaking culture is mainly in the hands of 'English teachers'? That only if we serve and practice the arts that used to be called liberal-grammar, rhetoric, dialect, logic-will they live? That if we abandon them, they will probably die?'
