Creative letter in Russia: plots, approaches, problems. Comp. Kucheskaya M., Bazhenova-Sorokina A.

Learning artistic writing is a field of culture, which rises to antiquity, but has received institutional embodiment only in the 20th century. It often causes distrust and irony on the part of the academic community, but it also gave an impetus to the development of philology, providing researchers with new optics and new analysis tools that allow you to see the composition of the literary text from the point of view of the writer.

This collection introduces a new scientific direction into the Russian field of humanities - Creative Writing Studies, in the Russian version - “Studies of literary education”. The authors affect their articles a wide range of problems and those that can be considered part of Creative Writing Studies and which help to outline the boundaries of the direction: from pedagogical practices, studying writer's institutions, issues of the status of a writer and fiction in society to sociology and economics of creative writing, as well as The consequences of the development of literary education for the literature itself.

The collection consists of three sections: the first is dedicated to the history of the formation of a creative letter from the XVIII to the XX century, the second - separate aspects of its theory, and the third - issues of translation.
