ENGL 209 - Advanced Creative Writing: Narrative

Semester Offered: Fall and Spring
1 unit(s)

This class explores the nature of narrative and storytelling in relation to our own attempts at creative expression. Throughout the semester we consider several works of fiction, considering the various ways that writers reimagine form to inflect narrative with meaning. Classes may explore point of view, character, agency, plot, style, and animating concepts or fields to create particular storyworlds. Workshops foreground analysis and commentary about students’ writing. Ryan Chapman (a); Joshua Harmon (b).

Prerequisite(s): Open to any student who has taken ENGL 205, 206 or ENGL 207. Priority is given to junior English majors and correlates.

One 2-hour period and individual conferences with the instructor.
