The Right Words
This year is the 70th birthday of the Harbrace Handbook of English. It will go unnoticed by most—but it’s an anniversary with a lot of significance for the University of Tennessee: Harbrace is the best-selling college textbook of all time, and it’s the creation of former UT English professor John C. Hodges. Yes, that John C. Hodges—the one the campus library is named after. Brooks Clark and Cari Wade Gervin look at the history and cultural impact of Harbrace.
