Peter Elbow est un professeur émérite d'anglais dont l'œuvre influente se concentre sur la théorie, la pratique et la pédagogie de l'écriture. Il est largement reconnu pour avoir été un pionnier de la technique de 'l'écriture libre' (freewriting), une méthode désormais fondamentale dans de nombreuses salles de classe d'anglais. Les travaux d'Elbow explorent comment les individus apprennent à écrire, offrant des aperçus et des méthodes pour développer une plus grande puissance et habileté dans le processus d'écriture.

Equally useful for writing fiction, poetry and essays as well as reports, lectures and memos, this approach is especailly helpful for people who get stuck in their writing.
This is a guide for the undergraduate student writing an essay, the professional writer working on a story, or the manager writing a memo for a tight deadline. It aims to help the writer achieve a sense of control in their writing.
A classic handbook for anyone who needs to write, "Writing with Power" provides readers (and writers) with various methods for getting words down on paper; for revising; for dealing with an audience; for getting feedback; and other recipes for approaching the mystery of power in writing.
