The often complex relation between those identities forms the broad focus of this book, which also examines various, and variously fraught, dialogues between creative writers, \"\"hybrid\"\" writers and academic colleagues from other subjects within single institutions, andwith the public and the media.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e At the heart of the book is the principle of \"\"creative writing\"\" as a fully-fledged discipline, an important subject for debate at a time when the future of the humanities is in crisis; the contributors, all writers and teachers themselves, provide first-hand views on crucial questions: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e What are the most fruitful intersections between creative writing and scholarship? What methodological overlaps exist between creative writing and literary studies, and what can each side of the \"\"divide\"\" learn from its counterpart? Equally, from a pedagogical perspective, what kind of writing should be taught to students to ensure that the discipline remains relevant? And is the writing workshop still the best way of teaching creative writing? The essays here tackle these points from a range of perspectives, including close readings, historical contextualisation and theoretical exploration. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Marggraf Turley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1843842785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843842781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell \u0026amp; Brewer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.60h x 8.60w x 0.80d","brand":"Richard Marggraf Turley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088870519039,"sku":"9781843842781","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_19dfb646-92a5-41eb-9072-d5d32bf59c1a.jpg?v=1769106997","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-writer-in-the-academy-richard-marggraf-turley-9781843842781","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
