TL;DRAbstract

So far in this book I have emphasised that a key to becoming a successful English student is the ability to question things, or to no longer take norms for granted. This applies to the processes of studying as well as the texts and issues. In 1993, for example, Peter Womack, a lecturer at the University of East Anglia, decided to no longer take the essay for granted. He wrote a polemic in which he attempted to ‘denaturalize the essay’ for his peers, asking them to think about the reasons for its primacy in higher education.
