Course Title:
Creative Writing: Contemporary Practice
Course Number:
ENG00081H
Course Description:
The premise of this module is that the study of literature should include your own writing practice. To understand how stories, poems, or scripts are made, there is no substitute for making some yourself. Building on the critical background and writing skills developed throughout your degree, this will be your chance to work with texts from a creative angle - learning to read like a writer, engaging with formal and genre conventions from a practitioner's perspective, and exploring ways in which 'creative' writing might expand our modes of critical interaction. The module is structured around key issues in contemporary literary practice, with discussion of texts and peer-feedback on your original writing each week. Readings will include innovative and inspiring examples of recent fiction, poetry, and dramatic writing, each linked to themes and models to inform your own creative development. In this way, the range of texts will frame our engagement
