    Paula McDowell's 2017 Book, and Walter J. Ong's Thought
    (This version was not previously published., 2021-10) Farrell, Thomas
    In my 3,800-word review essay "Paula McDowell's 2017 Book, and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I examine certain statements she makes in her 2017 book The Invention of the Oral: Print Commerce and Fugitive Voices in Eighteenth-Century Britain (University of Chicago Press), about the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and cultural historian Walter J. Ong's conceptualizations and terminology. However, after examining her polemical points, I am not persuaded to stop using or referring to Ong's conceptualizations and terminology.
