The unit offers the opportunity to discuss in depth a very wide range of literary texts, from Homer's Odyssey through to very recent Australian writing, in the context of recent literary and historiographical theory. Classes will offer the opportunity for candidates to workshop both their critical and theoretical essays and/or their creative work. Special attention will be given to formal and genre considerations, in looking at the most effective ways to combine fiction and history. Text may be varied from year to year, according to student interest.
