Books by Peter (Professor of English Elbow

This is a guide for the undergraduate student writing an essay, the professional writer working on a story, or the manager writing a memo for a tight deadline. It aims to help the writer achieve a sense of control in their writing.

This collection of essays brings together Elbow's theories on teaching writing. The volume includes sections on voice, the experience of writing, teaching, and evaluation.

Second revised edition in which Elbow sets out his teaching methods and outlines a practical programme for learning how to write. Equally useful for writing fiction, poetry and essays as well as reports, lectures and memos, this approach is especailly helpful for people who get "stuck" in their writing.
