The subject of this book is the crossover between critical study
and creative writing. 'Active reading' is a structured process of
writing activities using imitation, variation and experimentation.
Through practical composition techniques such as 'transformational
writing', 're-writing' or 'translation', students can use writing
activities to develop their critical imagination. This book bridges
the gap between theories of learning and Literary studies in Higher
Education. Setting the argument in an historical and theoretical
context, it outlines the importance of writing as a medium of
learning and argues for its usefulness in aiding English students'
understanding of theoretical as well as literary and cultural
texts. The authors provide a reflective account of teaching and
assessment methods using writing activities and critical thinking
techniques and the forms of learning they promote. In the last
section, they explore the connections with other forms of writing
practice in related disciplines and argue for the role of
transformational writing in promoting independent learning.
Appendices provide examples of the range of activities that can be
used and an indicative list of literary examples.
