The Process of Literature: An Essay Towards Some Reconsiderations

Originally published in 1929, The Process of Literature is a study of the art of letters considered from a new point of view, as a process of human activity rather than as a series of objects produced by that activity. It was intended for the writer, critic, and teacher, as well as the professional psychologist.

Agnes Mure Mackenzie (1891-1955) was born at Stornaway, Isle of Lewis, and was a writer and historian. At the time of publication she had been English Assistant at Aberdeen University and English Lecturer at Birkbeck College, University of London. In 1945 she was awarded a CBE for services to Scottish literature and Scottish history.
