Forms and Genres

This area of interest examines theories of form and genre, considering the complex histories of literary forms such as the essay, novel, and lyric, as well as the equally complex histories of theorizing those forms. This area considers forms and genres, not as fixed categories, but as ever evolving clusters of expectations. Forms and Genres thus emphasizes process, both the historical processes by which forms and genres evolve and the processes of literary creation.
