Creative English Grammar III [S-15-25]

Writers from Old English times onward to very modern times wrote both grammatically and creatively. They used the rules of grammar as patterns inviting exploration. But textbooks on English grammar say nothing about this. This course reviews its two predecessors on the creative uses of grammar and then focuses on the nature of the traditional rules of English grammar.

Over his many years of teaching English at SLU, John Jaunzems developed a fascination with the creative uses of grammar. He is still thinking about what a creative writing grammar would look like, the kind that would explain what creative writers do.
