Description

Creativity: Theory, History, Practice offers new perspectives on creativity in light of contemporary critical theory and cultural history. This innovative book crosses disciplinary boundaries to build bridges between the critical and creative fields.

Organised into four parts, it explores the changing meaning of 'create' from religious ideas to modern notions of concept creation, examines the complex history of terms such as imagination and originality, and presents a critical anthology of materials on creativity in various contexts.

This book is invaluable for anyone interested in exploring what creativity has been, is currently, and may be. Rob Pope's work encourages readers to continue the process of rethinking this vital concept in their own creative or 're-creative' ways.
