The Process of Literature: An Essay Towards Some Reconsiderations


Overview

Originally published in 1929, The Process of Literature is a study of the art of letters considered from a new point of view, as a process of human activity rather than as a series of objects produced by that activity. It examines in detail “the process of literature” from the stimulus of the writer by their experience of life to the reader’s reaction to what has been created as a result of that stimulus and describes just how a book comes into being. It was intended for the writer, critic, and teacher, as well as the professional psychologist. Today it can be read in its historical context.
