About this title

Synopsis

"Literary Criticism Reevaluated: Challenging a Rigid Creative-Critical Dichotomy" examines selected authors and critical writings that challenge the assumption that novels, plays, poetry, and other creative genres hold greater literary value than criticism. The book argues that literary criticism can be equally creative and deserves recognition as a literary genre. Drawing on sources such as Encyclopedia Britannica and influential thinkers, the study questions the rigid divide between original and critical writing, highlighting the shared creativity and artistic commitment involved in both. Placed within debates in African literary discourse on identity, definition, and language, the book analyzes eight authors and their works to demonstrate that literary criticism is an expressive and engaging form of writing.“The challenge to scholars is exciting, and the synthesis and interconnectedness of the forms presented brilliant and compelling.”— Professor Chima J. Korieh, Marquette University, Editor-in-Chief, Oxford Bibliographies.
