| Brief Description | Following on from and in harmony with CCW401, the purpose of this module is to give a more specific understanding of the critical and craft debates within Creative Writing, and also to provide a general but solid knowledge of how the student’s writing processes may be developed and concentrated into a distinctive style and an increasing awareness of the themes and issues which their work deals with and develops. The emphasis will be placed on the thematic and stylistic developments within plays, poetry and prose, and the materials used will be drawn from the student’s own creative writing and other exemplars of excellence or paucity of craft. The module will offer critical reflection on the methods and purposes of the subject and / or practice, within a broader context of enquiry. (RM) |
| Indicative Syllabus | The initial week will concentrate on a discussion in which the students will be expected to look closely at their work to date in terms of the themes and issues which appear to be emerging. Each week thereafter, new work will be presented for critical engagement and constructive criticism. The student will be expected to analyse and critically evaluate their techniques as well as their own stylistic development and the stylistic development of their peers. |
| Learning Outcomes | Learning outcomes & Research Methods skills (RM) On successful completion of the module students will demonstrate the ability to: 1. analyse and evaluate their own stylistic development from a writerly perspective; 2. analyse and critically evaluate a range of methods of engagement with themes and issues in their own writing and in the writing of others; 3. synthesise wider perspectives on creative and critical viewpoints and their relationship to creative and critical writing in general. 4. be critically self-aware respecting the methods that they use in their own writing.
