This collection of essays from across the arts disciplines—music, literature, dance, theatre and the visual arts—explores the challenges and complexities raised by engaging in researching and writing on living or recently deceased subjects and their output. Different sections explore critical perspectives and case studies in relation to innovative, distinctive or otherwise leading work, as well as offering innovative modes of discourse such as a visual essay and a music composition. Subjects addressed include recent scandals of Canadian literary celebrity, late-career output, the written element of music composition PhDs, and the boundaries between ethnography and hagiography, with case studies ranging from Howard Barker to Adrian Piper to Sylvie Guillem and Misty Copeland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeneral Introduction.- \u003c\/b\u003e1. \u003ci\u003eWriting About Contemporary Creative Art and Artists.- \u003c\/i\u003eChristopher Wiley and Ian Pace.- \u003cb\u003ePART I: Critical Perspectives.- \u003c\/b\u003e2. \u003ci\u003eThe Artist is Present: Scandal and the Academic Study of the Living Artist.- \u003c\/i\u003eLorraine York.- 3. \u003ci\u003eFrom vocational calling to career construction: Late-career authors and critical self-reflection.- \u003c\/i\u003eHywel Dix.- 4.
