Put several such voices together, with each voicing its own special assertion, let them act upon one another in co-operative competition, and you get a dialectic that, properly developed, can lead to views transcending the limitations of each\u201d (\u201cRhetoric\u2014Old and New\u201d). To achieve such transcendence, one must (in the words of Joseph Harris), \u201crespond to the work of others in a way that is both generous and assertive\u201d (1). Despite the fact that an abstract is quite brief, about 250 words, it must do almost as much work as the multi-page article that follows it. There are a number of required elements to any successful abstract which must be stylistically combined to create an engaging piece of prose for your intended audience (in this case, an anthology editor).
