Reviews for The Author Is Not Dead, Merely Somewhere Else: Creative Writing after Theory

'Pursues a much-needed argument about Creative Writing, the nature of the discipline, its relationship to Literary Studies and the workshop format in which it is conventionally taught. On all these subjects Wandor has important (and controversial) things to say.' - Professor Ben Knights, Director, English Subject Centre 'The book will be the definitive text about the history of Creative Writing teaching and its development in the UK for some time to come.' English Subject Centre Newsletter. 'A thorough and detailed history of the multiple ways in which creative writing developed as a university discipline.' College English
