Is creativity a therapeutic, culturally enriching and health-giving
pursuit, or is it an outpouring of darkly unconscious, neurotically
dangerous material? What have been some of the important modern
influences on our assumptions and ideas about creativity? Using a
fascinatingly varied but beautifully controlled blend of
approaches, Kevin Brophy places the creative writer and artist
within a modern history of arguments over questions of creativity.
He discusses creativity as a social-cultural practice, presenting
creativity as a historical, political and inevitably compromised
practice which must always be in dispute. In a world where creative
writing is becoming institutionalised through university courses,
he argues for the importance of continuing instability, theoretical
sophistication and unsettled differences over what creativity is.
