From the invention of the alphabet to the explosion of the
internet, Dominic Wyse takes us on a unique journey into the
process of writing. Starting with seven extraordinary examples that
serve as a backdrop to the themes explored, it pays particular
attention to key developments in the history of language, including
Aristotle's grammar through socio-cultural multimodality, to
pragmatist philosophy of communication. Analogies with music are
used as a comparator throughout the book, yielding radically new
insights into composition processes. The book presents the first
comprehensive analysis of the Paris Review interviews with the
world's greatest writers such as Louise Erdrich, Gabriel Garcia
Marquez, Ted Hughes, and Marilynne Robinson. It critically reviews
the most influential guides to styles and standards of language,
and presents new research on young people's creativity and writing.
Drawing on over twenty years of findings, Wyse presents
research-informed innovative practices to demonstrate powerfully
how writing can be learned and taught.
