college and university,education,education and reference,instruction methods,language arts,literary criticism,literary criticism and collections,literature and fiction,pedagogy,reference, Peter Elbow claims that "a good essay or biography requires just as much creativity as a good poem; and . . . a good poem requires just as much truth as a good essay." The contributors to Genre by Example would agree. Their book argues that creativity need not be muted simply to meet the perceived boundaries of the academic essay, that, in fact, an author immersed in a form has special insight unavailable through any other means. The authors all implicitly endorse the contention that we know best by doing. Too often, writing theorists prescribe rules for their students and fellow teachers without providing any evidence that they themselves can comply with their own prescriptions. The contributors to Genre by Example are not evasive in this way. "Practice what you preach" might well be the book's ultimate pedagogy, a philosophy the contributors have embraced. They not only tell, they show. Bound by the conventions of a genre, they are better able to understand and explain the limitations, difficulties, and pleasures inherent in that genre. And the contributors find themselves saying exactly what they mean rather than engaging in jargon that is impressive and meaningful chiefly to academics. Ultimately, the contributors' approach to the book's central concept has been limited by their knowledge that the readers will be primarily composition teachers, with instructors of creative writing and literature survey courses as secondary audiences.
