  <about><![CDATA[Peter Elbow is Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He is best known for his work in writing theory, practice, and pedagogy.

Elbow is the author of several books, including Embracing Contraries: Explorations in Learning and Teaching (Oxford UP, 1986), Writing with Power: Techniques for Mastering the Writing Process (Oxford UP, 1981), Writing Without Teachers (Oxford UP, 1973), and his most recent, Being A Writer (McGraw-Hill, 2002). He pioneered the practice of &quot;freewriting&quot; in these books, a practice now widely taught in English classes.
