The Fourth Genre: Contemporary Writers Of/On Creative Nonfiction + New Mycomplab

"The Fourth Genre" offers the most comprehensive, teachable, and current introduction available today to the cutting-edge, evolving genre of creative nonfiction. While acknowledging the literary impulse of nonfiction to be a fourth genre equivalent to poetry, fiction, and drama, this text focuses on subgenres of the nonfiction form, including memoir, nature writing, personal essays, literary journalism, cultural criticism, and travel writing. This anthology was the first to draw on the common ground of the practicing writer and the practical scholar and to make the pedagogical connections between creative writing practice and composition theory, bridging some of the gaps between the teaching of composition, creative writing, and literature in English departments. 0321881788 / 9780321881786 Fourth Genre, The: Conteomporary Writers of/on Creative Nonfiction with NEW MyCompLab Package consists of: 0205172776 / 9780205172771 Fourth Genre, The: Contemporary Writers of/on Creative Nonfiction 020589190X / 9780205891900 NEW MyCompLab - Valuepack Access Card
