Von der hinteren Coverseite

A guide to the creative possibilities of critical writing, with sample texts from a range of writers and criticsIncluding pieces by creative critics as varied as Anne Carson, Jacques Derrida, Geoff Dyer, Hélène Cixous, Ali Smith, and John Cage, this anthology and guide celebrates works whose formal and intellectual inventiveness is inseparable from a deep fidelity to the writing or art they address. Of interest to all students, teachers and critics of literature and creative writing, this anthology gathers 14 exemplary texts, which share a common question: how to write criticism in response to artworks whose aim is to change the ways in which we see and describe our world? Impatient with the language of most academic critical writing, Creative Criticism dares to imagine that things might be different.Key Features•Unique as an anthology of and guide to creative-critical writing•Demonstrates a range of ways to write critically and creatively•Extensive introduction and explanatory headnotes to each textStephen Benson and Clare Connors teach in the School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia.
