Use your creative writing skills and love of the English language to tell stories in a range of different contexts and styles. The English and Creative Writing major rests on the idea of the importance of literature as a living cultural practice. You will focus on the global significance of text as a literary form, broadly understood to include all its variants - from the short story, to the sonnet, from the blog to the bildungsroman, and from pastoral to performance poetry. Understanding the intimate relationship between the literary and the creative, you’ll get to study English literature while developing knowledge and skill in critical and creative reflection and writing practice. Therefore you will be required to read, view, listen and write critically, professionally and creatively in response to a wide range of written, visual and other texts.
