This study views the history of error in composition instruction through a reader's rather than a writer's perspective, and in so doing, documents the manner in which our visions of error and perceptions of student writers who produce error have both transformed and remained static over the course of 130 years. A central conclusion derived from this is an assertion that error is largely produced by readers of student writers, rather than student writers themselves.
