Summary : Milner s great study, first published in 1950, discusses the nature of creativity and those forces which prevent its expression. In focusing on her own beginner s efforts to draw and paint, she analyses not the mysterious and elusive ability of the genius but as the title suggests the all too common and distressing situation of not being able to create.
