"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 organization of implied meanings
- The structuring of interpretation by genre
- The uses of genre in teaching
John Frow's lucid exploration of this fascinating concept will be essential reading for students of literary and cultural studies.
