520 2 _a"Creative Reading and Literature with a small "l" is an important book which will help to break down barriers between literature and language, and between linguistics, stylistics and language teaching. It contributes much to making teachers and students aware of the role of language and language awareness in developing literary competence. In many ways, it is a groundbreaking book, and it should help change the course of language teaching in the new century by demonstrating the centrality of language awareness to reading all kinds of texts and in developing an awareness of how to read the world. Above all, John McRae succeeds in demystifying literature and making it accessible as a classroom text for readers at all levels."--
