Creative Writing

In the Department of English, we read, discuss, and write about literature in the English language. We take пПТliteratureпПУ in its broadest sense: novels, short stories, poetry, and drama, highbrow classics and popular contemporaries, imaginative non-fiction, writing about writers (biography, life-writing, essays, and criticism), literature adapted to film, and literature translated into English. We also offer classes in the craft of good writing and in the art of creating new imaginative literature. Students majoring in English may select an optional concentration in creative writing. This stream might suit those interested in writing creative work such as poetry, fiction, or drama.
