The purpose of this course is to provide you with an appreciation of the work of great English writers as sources for their own original and innovative short stories. This course uses some of the canonical texts in English Literature (including poetry, drama and the novel) from Chaucer, the father of English poetry, to the Romantics such as Wordsworth, Keats and Mary Shelley, as creative catalysts. You will also enrich your creative practice through critical reflection.
