Jim W. Corder
Jimmie Wayne Corder (September 25, 1929, Jayton, Texas - August 28, 1998, Fort Worth, Texas) was a scholar of rhetoric.
Professor of English at Texas Christian University, Jim W. Corder was a prolific scholar and teacher, producing dozens of books and articles on the history and theory of rhetoric studies and the teaching of writing. He had (and still has) a cult-like following among those who laud the figurative, creative style that embody his philosophy of rhetoric. Yet, his unique theoretical perspective—often called "Corderian rhetoric"—has not been given extensive attention, consideration, or legitimacy as a theoretical framework among others in English studies.
