English as a Creative Art: Literacy Concepts Linked to Creative Writing [Paperback]

Modern literary concepts; language and meaning; writing and genre; organizing a narrative; point of view/focalization; multiple voices; character and characterization; postscript; biographies and biblio-graphies of major literary theorists.English as a Creative Art is different from previous works on either creative writing or contemporary literary criticism. It is the first book to bring the two together, demonstrating how concepts drawn from literary theory can be used to enable students to develop critical insights into their own writing. Conversely, it also aims to help students understand contemporary critical concepts and become more incisive thinkers through creative work.USCopyright ? Linden Peach and Angela Burton
