Genre - New York Routledge 2013 - vi,171p. PB 19.5x12.5cm.
Genre is a key means by which we categorize the many forms of literature and culture. But it is also much more than that: in talk and writing, in music and images, in film and television, genres actively generate and shape our knowledge of the world. Understanding genre as a dynamic process rather than a set of stable rules, this book explores.
*the relation of simple to complex genres
*the history of literary genre in theory
*the generic organisation of implied meanings
*the structuring of interpretation by genre
*the uses of genre in teaching.
