Teaching and Researching Creative Writing

The Emergence of Creative Writing Studies

Abstract

When we consider the contemporary study of literature, which might focus on particular genre, on authors, on types of text, on the literary outputs of regions, on questions of race, gender and sexuality explored in literary work, or the contemporary study of language—whether through applied linguistics, historicalcomparative
linguistics, or through semantics or morphology, for example—we might also be drawn to consider the critical study of creative writing.
