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 examines in detail “the process of literature” from the stimulus of the writer by their experience of life to the reader’s reaction to what has been created as a result of that stimulus and describes just how a book comes into being. It was intended for the writer, critic, and teacher, as well as the professional psychologist.
Today it can be read in its historical context.
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.
