The Tapestry of the Creative Word in Anglophone Literatures

The essays collected in this volume cover most of the globe’s literary geography and cultures and show how the ‘creative word’, with its symbolic, poetic and dialogic power, is a useful critical tool when reading texts, as well as studying forms of partnership creativity across different spaces and historical times. Prominent scholars from around the world closely exmine the variety of forms and expressions of the ‘creative word’ in the fields of literatures in English, language teaching and education, and demonstrate its strength and potentialities as an instrument of transcultural consciousness and awareness.
