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.'
Rosie Garnere, Autumn 2007
