Other Information[edit]
Richard Marius directed the Expository Writing Program at Harvard University for sixteen years, teaching students and creating the philosophy for the only course required of all Harvard undergraduates. That philosophy is embodied in this book. He is the author of several novels, biographies, and textbooks on writing, including the McGraw-Hill College Handbook, which he wrote with Harvey Wiener. In the fall of 1998 Harvard University Press will publish his new book, Martin Luther: The Christian Be-tween God and Death; and his novel, An Affair of Honor, will be published in 1999. His play, The Coming of Rain, had a five-month run at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival in Montgomery during the spring and summer of 1978. His articles have appeared in publications as diverse as the medieval journal Tradition and the nonmedieval journal Esquire. He reviews books for many periodicals, including The New York Times, and for ten years he wrote a regular book review column for Harvard Magazine. He was one of the editors of The Yale Edition of the Complete Works of St. Thomas More, and with Keith Frame, he has edited the Columbia Anthology of Civil War Poetry. He now teaches English and Religious Studies at Harvard, and was awarded the Harvard Foundation Medal in 1993 for his contributions to minorities at Harvard. Source
