The aim with the present series, The Quran: Word List, is to
present every word form in the Quran as raw data with as little
interpretation as possible. The digital text used for this purpose
is the Uthmani text of the Tanzil Quran Text. In volumes one and
two each attested word form in the Quran is listed alphabetically
with no parsing and no alteration. These are listed by word form
< lemma < root. Volume three consists of two sections. In
section one, the lemmas assigned to each attested word form are
listed. In section two, the assigned roots are listed. In assigning
each word a root and lemma, Classical dictionaries and Quran
commentaries, as well as modern Quran dictionaries have been
consulted.
In this dynamic exploration of the discipline of creative writing,
Graeme Harper departs from the established 'how-to' model in a
personal manifesto which analyses why human beings are, and have
long been, passionate about writing. Illuminating the five
essential keys to creative writing, directly related to the desire
to undertake it, Harper analyses creative writing's past and
ponders its future, drawing on theories of the self, cultural
interaction, consumption and communication. Blending practice-based
critical context with contemporary creative writing theory, this
book is an ideal companion for undergraduate and postgraduate
students of creative writing and literature. Lively and
thought-provoking, it is an invaluable tool for all aspiring and
established writers who wish to harness the positive effects of
their craft.
