Description:
This book makes a practical case that re-writing should be a core activity for English students, complementing analytical activity, and providing bridges between creative writing, media studies, and traditional forms of reading and criticism.
Review Quotes: '...a terrific addition to any English department. It describes a practical rather than theoretical route to understanding English literature. The writing is meticulous, thoroughly researched and trustworthy...This way of learning makes sense to me...In many ways, this is the bridge-building book...between creative writing and literature, between the elitism of the critics and the writing process and between all the other disciplines that could benefit from this approach.'
