Innovative Frameworks and Tested Lore for Teaching Creative Writing to Undergraduates in the Twenty-First Century

Kate Kostelnik

Abstract

Creative writing is divided between instructors upholding New Critical emphasis on texts and those challenging the goals of the discipline. While innovators propose reform, reconceptions put instructors at odds with one another and with students. In compromise, I propose praxes that incorporate lore-based methodology with innovations from critical and rhetorical theory.
