Product Description

Written by best-selling author Janet Burroway, Imaginative Writing — an introduction to creative writing — covers all four genres: creative nonfiction, fiction, poetry, and drama. Imaginative Writing discusses elements of craft common to all creative writing before delving into the individual genres. Each of the first five chapters investigates a specific element of craft–Image, Voice, Character, Setting, and Story–from a perspective that crosses all genres. Chapter 6 explores development and revision and serves as a bridge between the craft chapters and genre chapters. The last four chapters examine individual genres: Creative Nonfiction, Fiction, Poetry, and Drama. This unique organization allows students to experiment with creative techniques shared by all genres before deciding which form best suits their imagination. Unique "Try-This" exercises help students develop writing skills, while new “Working Toward a Draft” exercises encourage students to think ahead about the direction and possibilities of their work. Aspiring creative writers — of creative nonfiction, poetry, fiction, or drama.



From the Back Cover

Written by best-selling author Janet Burroway, Imaginative Writing is an introductory creative writing book that covers the four genres: essay, fiction, poetry, and drama,. Part I addresses the elements of craft (Image, Voice, Character, Setting, Story, and Development and Revision) while Part II explores the genres (Essay, Fiction, Poetry, and Drama). "Try This" Exercises appear throughout each chapter. Provocative and fun, the exercises help readers develop the specific writing skills discussed within the chapters. The book also includes an anthology of 90 complete readings in the four genres. Photographs and graphics, with accompanying warm-up activities, open each chapter. Appendices include collaborative exercises to emphasize the sensory foundations of imaginative writing, a description of standard formats for submitting finished work in each of the four genres, and an outline of the basic elements of prosody. For those interested in developing their creative writing skills. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Excellent Resource! A must have for Creative Writers, Oct. 27 2007
Par Rabinna (British Columbia, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I had to purchase this book as a textbook for my English class and was a little bit choked at the price tag for an English reference book - one that I assumed I would never use again. I was never so wrong! I can honestly say that it was one of the best book purchases I have made in a long time. As an "apprentice" creative writer I need all the help I could get working with Image, Voice, Character and Setting in all three genres (Poetry, Fiction & Drama). This book provided delightful and creative insights to these areas and more. I found the chapter on Development and Revision a godsend - that chapter alone was worth the money. I loved how Burroway illustrates the elements by including works by Hemmingway, Ted Hughes, E. B. White and the like. The short story "The Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri was an added bonus. Thank you to my English professor for making this book our class text!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Fresh?, Aoû 23 2003
Par indypoet "indypoet" (Indianapolis, IN USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Imaginative Writing: The Elements of Craft (Penguin Academics Series) (Paperback)
Not to start a war here, but Janet Burroway's book *is* fresh, and it's the best, most comprehensive multigenre text on the market. And it's affordable both for university students and writers who want to use it on their own. No, it's not full of inspirational gobbledygook and gimmicky suggestions to touch the heart of the writer. Instead, it's a very smart book that asks the writer to join in the long histories of the genres it discusses and offers the most succinctly articulated descriptions of techniques and approaches that will not only get a writer started writing but that will also help that writer understand what makes good writing good. The most innovative aspect of Burroway's book is that it takes creative writing as a whole and discusses those basic elements that make all writing good, from the need for concrete imagery that says something to the need for narrative to move and develop across a work. And it offers dozens and dozens of recent examples to illustrate its points. As an anthology alone, this book would be a good read. But Burroway's comments very aptly help a reader to understand what is working well in each of her excerpts. No, it doesn't offer up elaborate metaphors about bones or light or any inner writing child as a way to nurture the soul of the writer. But from my experience as a writing instructor, it's not the soul of the beginning writer that needs nurturing. This book understands quite well the need to nurture the mind of the writer first.

1.0étoiles sur 5 not much of an imaginative book, Juil 8 2003
Par Un client
This review is from: Imaginative Writing: The Elements of Craft (Penguin Academics Series) (Paperback)
Sorry, but this is a less than average book on writing. It's dated in its attitude toward fresh writing. Its a rehash with no original thought. The book's texts fall way short of its title. In five words, it is dry and boring. The author makes many pronouncments that often amount to trite and trivial, rather than relaying info to the writer that is fresh, sparkling. Consider instead Carolyn See's books on writing. See's books are helpful, vibrate with energy, unlike this one by Burroiay. Other authors on writing like Heilburn and Goldberg and Dillard and La Mott also do not have that tired-out attitude of 'only we three people in the world really know what great literature is."
