In Rational Irrationality, H. James Jensen presents an effective way of teaching composition that is an alternative to current teaching methods used and taught by composition teachers at many colleges, high schools, and universities. Based on existing workshop models and artistic principles that professional writers have used for centuries, Jensen lays out in simple form, the ways in which a course in composition can be taught.

H. James Jensen is Professor Emeritus of English and Comparative Literature, Indiana University, Bloomington.
