Product Description
Review
'...the book functins also as a rather enjoyable and clear introduction to most of the philosophers who have been so influential in literary theory and studies since the 1960s...Hunt and Sampson write so crisply and fluently that their work is a joy to read on its account.' - Kym Martindale, NAWE News

Each chapter links a range of theoretical approaches to one practical aspect of writing, using illustrations from fiction, poetry and literary non-fiction, and suggesting practical exercises for pursuing the topic further. The book will enable students to develop literary, critical and psychodynamic understandings of the creative process and to explore a range of key topics.

Format:Paperback
This is a really excellent book that effortlessly combines 'insider' knowledge of the creative writing process with an in-depth knowledge of writing theory, psychoanalysis and other modes of reflexivity. It's the most sensible book I've read, and the most persuasive, to link the two. Hunt and Sampson neither sell out on the theory, nor lose sight of the creativity in their examination of how the writer can be both 'insider' and 'outsider' in the writing process.
If you're a creative writing student struggling with concept of critical reflection, or finding it hard to see how theory could have any relevance to writing practice, this book will be immensely useful (though it's probably more for Masters level students) It also has writing exercises at the end of every chapter that allow students the chance to 'try out' some of the theoretical perspectives covered in a practical way.
It gave me lots to think about...
