Synopsis:

This practical book demystifies the processes of academic writing through careful explanation and a series of engaging and practical examples.

  • Places emphasis on drafting, redrafting, adaptation and correction as essential processes in the transformation and communication of ideas.
  • Outlines the skills central to academic essay writing including moving beyond knowledge to understanding; discriminating between one idea and another; and building up ideas to make a case.
  • Introduces the history and variety of the essay as a genre as well as the range of styles and voices employed by contemporary critics and students.
  • Provides a guide to the three different systems of referencing currently used in academic writing.
