Writing and the writer

Hillsdale, New Jersey: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc. 1994

ISBN: 978-0030588372

LCC: BF 456 .W8 1994

Not a guide to writing, but a thoughtful meditation on the acts of writing and learning to write. Smith’s thesis is that the writer and reader both bring sets of intentions to a piece of writing, and that the gap between these intentions is mediated by the conventions of language.
