- 1960s: David Fleming The Long Sixties
- 1970s: see 1977 and here are some useful quotes to get started:
...the 1970s--that formative decade in the development of composition studies that is just now "entering history," as it were (4)
on the 1970s: "...the rich, sometimes conflicting, sometimes even random intellectual and material hurly-burly of the period. Consequently, our field has been left without a sense of how all those individual moments were collectively influencing and impeding composition practices in the 1970s or how they generated competing, conflicting, and cooperating discourses at given moments that continue to resonate today. (4)
...but they are somewhat less serviceable for preserving the astonishing range of practices, personalities, and messy particulars that strove for a hearing, however temporarily, within the mixed aggregate that has been known as composition. (4)
...it nevertheless seems fair to say that, within composition studies, understanding of the era is incomplete, lacking in the rich, competing particulars that defined the period. (5)
