Where it came from
Inquiry and Genre was published in 1998 by Allyn and Bacon as a pedagogical resource for undergraduate composition courses. Emerging during a shift in rhetoric and composition studies toward the analysis of discourse communities, the text was designed to help students understand how academic and public writing is shaped by the social contexts and expectations of specific genres.
Author David A. Jolliffe, a respected scholar in rhetorical theory, structured the book to guide students through the recursive nature of inquiry. By focusing on how purpose and audience dictate form, Jolliffe aimed to move composition instruction away from formulaic templates and toward a more investigative approach to writing, earning the text a place in various university writing curricula of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
