The Author Is Not Dead, Merely Somewhere Else by Michelene Wandor

Wandor has written the first history of creative writing in the UK, analyzing its complex relationship with English and literary theory. Erudite and provocative, the book presents a searching critique of creative writing pedagogy, arguing for new approaches. Indispensable for teachers, students and everyone concerned with the future of literature.

'Pursues a much-needed argument about Creative Writing, the nature of the discipline, its relationship to Literary Studies and the workshop format in which it is conventionally taughtOn all these subjects Wandor has important (and controversial) things to say.' - Professor Ben Knights, Director, English Subject Centre 'The book will be the definitive text about the history of Creative Writing teaching and its development in the UK for some time to come.' English Subject Centre Newsletter. 'A thorough and detailed history of the multiple ways in which creative writing developed as a university discipline.' College English
