EN326: Narrative Theory and Practice
This module will introduce key concepts and ideas in theories of narrative, and will provide students with the critical and creative tools they need to start working with narrative – as writers and critics. Students will learn the basics of prose writing, including how to work with voice, tense, register and different types of narrator. They will also focus intensively on narrative structure and will experiment with different types of plot, from the Aristotelian to the impressionistic. This module will ultimately encourage students to consider the ways in which reading leads to writing, and to what extent original, contemporary storytelling must always refer to other texts, stories and structures from the past and present. Students will produce one essay and one piece of narrative fiction.
