Module summary

This module aims to introduce students to traditions and currents in London writing and to examine the ways that the city’s changing economic, social and cultural life is expressed and represented in creative non-fiction, poetry and prose. The module will focus on London’s identity as a world city, a place of migration and of cultural creativity and innovation.  The module is divided into three parts where students will be introduced briefly to historical London writing, to creative non-fiction studies of the contemporary city and, the major part of the module, to representations of contemporary London in poetry and creative prose. The module will be delivered in weekly lecture format followed by creative writing workshops and literary critical discussions in seminar. 

Students will practise and develop skills central to undergraduate study such as workshopping external creative work, keeping study and creative journals, note-taking, listening, speaking and participation skills for seminar, library and online research strategies, critical approaches to the immersive long read and developing written arguments at length.

The assessment for this module will involve students keeping a digital journal on weblearn and developing this into assignment submissions midway through the module and at the end.
