Literature: Voices of the English Civil Wars.

This course will explore the period of the English Civil Wars, though the period might be better described as the British Civil Wars. It will examine the development of the state of war, the war itself and the war’s political developments and fall out. It will draw on the voices of the period that we find in pamphlets, poetry, prose and letters, and will as far as possible develop arguments based solely on contemporary documentation. Thus we shall hear the authentic voices of that era and discover those voices' concerns, fears and hopes. The course will conclude with an examination of the newly forged Protectorate under Cromwell.

Creative Writing: Write, Polish, Submit!

Need guidance and inspiration to make your story zing? Feel overwhelmed with editing? Join this course for tips and examples of how to edit your work: from the macro of the bigger picture questions to make the story consistent and coherent to the micro of syntax and building tension. This is not a proofreading course. It’s about weeding out info dumping, bringing alive the scene through showing rather than tell. It's about weeding out redundant words, cliches, fixing time hops and transitions and ensure there's enough forward momentum. We write in-class, share, get feedback and re-write. Samples of work with before and after edits will help us know what to focus on. To keep yourself accountable you will be encouraged to research relevant calls for submissions and commit to submitting. Also guidance on the submission process will be shared.
