The Elephants Teach by David G. Myers
Creative Writing Since 1880
A critical history of how creative writing became an academic discipline in the United States, tracing its evolution from late nineteenth-century rhetoric classes to the dominance of the workshop model and the postwar MFA boom. It profiles pivotal institutions and figures, interrogates whether writing can be taught, and assesses how program culture has reshaped literary production, criticism, and professional authorship.
