Writing: Self and Reflexivity

Exploring the writing process and its relationship to self, this guide synthesizes critical and creative theories of writing for both writers and readers.

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.
