"Genre" is a key means by which we categorize the many forms of literature and culture. But it is also much more than that: in talk and writing, in music and images, in film and television, genres actively generate and shape our knowledge of the world.
Understanding genre as a dynamic process rather than a set of stable rules, this book explores:
- The relation of simple to complex genres
- The history of literary genre in theory
- The generic organization of implied meanings
- The structuring of interpretation by genre
- The uses of genre in teaching
John Frow's lucid exploration of this fascinating concept will be essential reading for students of literary and cultural studies.

Among Cavett`s most venerable musical guests was the Genius himself, Ray Charles, who appeared on the show three times--including one evening when he was the only guest--for a series of candid interviews and...

Crawford tells many stories here--about his fellow soldiers, shop owners, Iraqi men, women and children, and himself: his reserve unit was called up while he was on his honeymoon, and he was pulled in the middle...
