		Wayne was influential not only because of his wide learning, his intellectual depth, and his argumentative rigor, but also because of his generosity of spirit.

		Booth felt that civilised discourse was deteriorating into non-negotiable demands and mutual abuse.

		Born in American Fork, Utah, Booth was raised in a devout Mormon family, and fulfilled his compulsory period as missionary in Pennsylvania.

		Booth continues to write a stolid academic prose that is more serviceable than it is scintillating; he continues, too, to make excessive use of his overworked concept, the "implied author," and of his fallacious conceit of the author as the reader's friend.
		Booth, for his part, is extremely friendly, finding ample space to lavish compliments on the (at best) marginally relevant books of a wide range of colleagues: M. Abrams's "great" Natural Supernaturalism, Peter Novick's "monumental" That Noble Dream, W. Mitchell's "splendid" Iconography, and dozens of others.
		Booth, himself the very model of a modern academic disciple, is blind to this fact.

	Remembering Wayne Booth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		To Wayne Booth, in the best of Aristotelian traditions, rhetoric is the art of persuasive speech, and as such is the foundation of discourse, in fiction, in drama, in daily life.
		Wayne Booth was an amateur in that best sense in his teaching as well.
		Wayne continued teaching well after his retirement, taking the opportunity to discuss Chaucer, for example, with undergraduates, far distant from his own expertise in modernism, literary criticism, and (in his dissertation days) the eighteenth century.

		Booth had a fine idea for a book; he executed it in his halting, highly idiosyncratic way; and he left a product that those much like him will clutch to their hearts.
		Booth is also cocksure in such statements as that Beethoven "surely would grieve over the number of times the theme of the fourth movement of his ninth symphony gets corrupted on tv commercials these days." Oh?

		Booth seems to be a very engaged instructor, at least based on his notes to his students that form part of the reading.
		That said, at one point Booth chides one of his students for turning in a paper that, he indicates, is not up to her usual standard.
		I suppose it’s a sign of the prof’s confidence in the student to say "your work is usually good; what happened here?"–but I also think that she should be judged on the paper’s individual merits as measured against her classmates’ achievement on the same assignment.

		“Wayne’s world,” said English professor James K. Chandler, AM’72, PhD’78, is how the undergraduates he inherited from his colleague Wayne Booth for part 3 of a three-course sequence described the class they’d had for the previous two quarters.
		The speakers’ claims for Booth’s prowess as teacher, thinker, listener, and inspired amateur were well buttressed by the evidence: founder of the journal Critical Inquiry, author of lit-crit classics (The Rhetoric of Fiction, to name one), a Quantrell Award-winning teacher, and a lifelong musician who played the cello with middling skill and exceptional enjoyment.

		Wayne C. Booth, one of the pre-eminent literary critics of the second half of the 20th century, whose lifelong study of the art of rhetoric illuminated the means by which authors seduce, cajole and more than occasionally lie to their readers in the service of narrative, died yesterday morning at his home in Chicago.

		Professor Booth's other books include "Modern Dogma and the Rhetoric of Assent" (University of Notre Dame, 1974); "Critical Understanding: The Powers and Limits of Pluralism" (University of Chicago, 1979); "The Vocation of a Teacher" (University of Chicago, 1988); and "The Rhetoric of Rhetoric" (Blackwell, 2004).

	A Note on Wayne Booth
		Booth next suggests that, just as in real life we judge potential and actual friends by various scales of value, so in literature we may and ought to judge implied authors and their offerings.
		Another important concept in Booth's critical theory is that of "fixed norms." These, he explains, are "beliefs on which the narrative depends for its effect but which are also by implication applicable in the 'real' world.
		They are fixed only in the sense that the implied author and the implied reader share them as normal both for the fictional world and for their world as it is or ought to be.

		Booth offers a chapter summary in his Preface, but rather than simply replicate that here, I'll go chapter-by-chapter myself, and try to include as much in the way of keywords as I can.
		Booth lists several factors, some of which he sees as causes for that fall, and some of which he is more cautious about defining that way: scientism, secularist humanism, reductionism, logicism, individualism, and historical determinism.
		Booth himself mentions the American Revolution repeatedly, and acknowledges that "most British readers, especially back in 1776, would surely find many of his arguments not just shaky but scandalous, making unfair, even dishonest claims against the enemy" (42).

	A Motley Vision » Commentary: “Wayne Booth Remembered” at the 2006 AML Conference
		Booth, Kramer said, “thought extremely clearly and well.” During graduate school Booth discovered New Criticism and then the super new critics of the Chicago school.
		In Booth’s critical stance, Kramer said, pure reason held sway, “but it was the humanity of novels that caused Booth to focus attention on rhetoric.”; Such a shift in focus returned the literary conversation to ethical and moral questions.
		The comment about Wayne being the best missionary we had came after he apparently gave a speech at a big conference (MLA I think) in which he bore his testimony (the words of the presenter) not of the Book of Mormon itself, but of reading the Book of Mormon with one’s family.

	Booth, Wayne C. - Essential Wayne Booth Books at Real Groovy New Zealand
		Wayne Booth wrote some of the most influential and engaging criticism of our time, most notably the 1961 classic "The Rhetoric of Fiction", a book that transformed literary criticism and became the standard reference point for advanced discussions of how fiction works, how authors make novels accessible, and how readers re-create texts.
		While Booth's work was formative to the study of literature, his essential writings have never been collected in a single volume - until now.
		Whether about metaphors for our friendship with books or the two cultures of science and religion, the texts collected here always return to the techniques and ethics of our ways of communicating with each other - that is, to rhetoric.

		And then he found himself tracting, door to door, struggling to reconcile what the manuals said he should teach with what he believed to be the best spiritual food for himself, for his companions, and for prospects who turned up.
		Elder Booth got to be pretty good at some amateur versions of rhetorology, sometimes in ways that his younger self (still surviving as conscience) damned as hypocritical.
		Most striking to me now are the ways in which Elder Booth labors to reconcile diverse views of religion and science in his missionary journal.

		Just as authorship can be implied in the persona of a prose or poetic narrator, readers/audiences also may be implied by the stance the narrators take toward values and behaviors in the text.

		Starting from the old "show vs. tell" debate of fiction-writing (the relative merits of presenting action directly vs. summarizing and explaining), Booth points out that storytelling has always involved the artifice of the author's giving the reader information, as of the inner nature of a character, that is not available to us in real life.
		A recurring touchstone in the book is Henry James, who Booth feels is a particular master of the subtleties of narration and its authority.
		Booth is clearly a knowledgeable and perceptive reader, but his tone is common-sense and reader-friendly.
