Creating Texts emphasises a practical approach to composition and
enables students to understand what is involved in the creation of
a text and to learn from the practice of other writers. Extensively
rewritten and updated from Walter Nash's earlier volume, Designs in
Prose, attention is paid to the general theory of composition, in
both traditional and original terms, so that students are made
familiar with the basic resources of composition, in grammar and in
the lexicon. The essence of every chapter is the discussion of
examples of text, sometimes devised by the authors, but more often
drawn from the work of authors writing in diverse styles of
English. This practical approach is most evident in the final
section of the book where detailed suggestions for projects and
exercises reinforce the connection between theory and practice, and
encourage students to develop their creative sense and to adapt
their style of writing to fit the particular audience and context.
In addition, this section is cross-referenced to the main text to
allow students to consult easily the relevant chapter.
