Synopsis
What is creativity? Is it something that just happens mysteriously, or can it be learned? How do notions of creativity vary in different periods and cultures?
This introductory guidebook addresses these and other questions, combining historical and theoretical perspectives to form a critical analysis of a wide range of texts. Rob Pope's discussion centers on:
Ancient and modern myths of creation, creators and creativity
Key terms and debates in the critical history of creativity
Classical, Romantic, Modern and Postmodern notions of the author/artist
This volume brings a fresh and informed perspective to courses in literary, linguistic and cultural studies.
