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
