The concept of "creativity" in a literary text, excusing poetic texts, refers to the ability of the author to produce work that is original, imaginative, and expressive. Creativity in literature involves the generation of new ideas, perspectives, and artistic expressions that evoke emotions, provoke thought, and provide fresh insights. Several studies have dealt with the topic, though they have not provided operational definitions of the term so that it can be measured. Could you propose some operational definitions based on your experience or sources that you have come across?
Hello, I am not sure that this is precisely what you are looking for, but you may find it interesting to read the following works:
Runco & Jaeger (2012)
DOI: 10.1080/10400419.2012.650092
Dean Keith Simonton (2012) Taking the U.S. Patent Office Criteria Seriously: A Quantitative Three-Criterion Creativity Definition and Its Implications, Creativity Research Journal, 24:2-3, 97-106, DOI:
10.1080/10400419.2012.676974
QUOTE: that evoke emotions, provoke thought, and provide fresh insights.
Isn't that the creativity of the reader, instead of the writer?
I don't think I should take credit for my audience's talents and skills! :P
Thank you for your response. Yeah, but question is how to define creativity in a literary text in way that can be measured.
