- W172184952 abstract "Prologue A student Lawrence since my twenty-first year, when I read him for first time, I am also a teacher writing (academic as well as creative) and, increasingly, a teacher university teachers writing. These parts my professional life have often pulled me in different directions, most obviously on multiple occasions when deadlines for work on Lawrence conflicted with dates for completing and circulating university Writing Task Force proposals. (Lawrence almost always lost). But my work on Lawrence and my work on writing, academic and otherwise, also feel profoundly connected: I need to welcome their complications and competing demands, to acknowledge and maintain their crucial and inter-related complexities in my teaching, research, and administration. I can identify three major paths diverging or converging, as case may be, and each September, as I walk through Edmonton's river valley, they even seem to be doing so in a yellow wood. If I were to choose just one, it would make all difference--but I don't want to. I want to follow all three or at least find out how they might intersect, weave together occasionally, to take me in direction I want to go. First Path: Lawrence I'm a raw North American grad student at University Kent at Canterbury in early 70s, trying to write a Ph.D. dissertation on Lawrence. I'm in love with his nonfiction, but puzzled by fellow grad students who refuse to take it seriously, as far as I can tell, primarily because it's lively and fun to read and lacks footnotes. (1) Thus, I choose to work on Lawrence's nonfiction as art speech--the only truth, according to Lawrence in Studies in Classic American Literature (14)--and on his epistemology, with help Michael Polanyi, focusing on Study Thomas Hardy as Lawrence's theory knowledge, a theory that reveals him to be not only capable of we ordinarily call thinking but--pace T. S. Eliot (58)--also prescient in challenging and redefining what we ordinarily call (2) Second Path: Creative Nonfiction I'm a mid-career academic increasingly writing, reading and teaching nonfiction. Working intentionally with The Fourth Genre (the thing itself as well as Robert Root and Michael Steinberg's text) gives me additional ways theorizing Lawrence's nonfiction as creative nonfiction--a problematic term, but one I'll use for now, having listened to my fair share papers in past few years devoted either to defining it or suggesting alternative terms. Root's definition the nonfiction motive--the desire to express, reflect on, and/ or interpret observed, perceived or recollected experience (Variations)--certainly applies to Lawrence's writing, as long as I understand express broadly to include art speech, that is, ability nonfiction to draw on strategies any genre in order to render or recreate experience, to give readers experiences to shape and extend their thinking. Creative nonfiction also gives me ways to think about Alt Dis (Alternative Discourse) and possible role Alt Dis might be able to play in academic discourse, third area my professional life. Third Path: Academic Writing I'm a specialist in Writing Studies charged with introducing students to university writing and with helping instructors teach academic writing. On this third path, I frequently struggle with conflicting perspectives--valuing, respecting, and benefiting from strong academic writing while tearing my hair out with boredom and despair over mechanical, weak, or unnecessarily turgid academic writing, whether produced by students or by professors, myself included. Often I long not only to integrate three parts my professional life, but also--unrealistically--to figure out ways to help my students (and me) write more like Lawrence. As it turns out, I'm not only writing teacher out there with this crazy idea. …" @default.
