How Writing Works

As a subject of research, writing has been relatively neglected in favour of verbal language and reading. This book is a new analysis of the process of writing. It explains how the world's greatest authors write; critiques the best guides to writing; and presents new research on creativity and writing.

De la inventarea alfabetului pana la explozia internetului, Dominic Wyse ne duce intr-o calatorie unica in procesul scrisului. Incepand cu sapte exemple extraordinare care servesc drept fundal pentru temele explorate, acorda o atentie deosebita evolutiilor cheie din istoria limbajului, inclusiv gramatica lui Aristotel prin multimodalitatea socio-culturala, filosofia pragmatista a comunicarii.
