Creative Writing Workshops

Starting in January 2021, author Charlie Lea will run six creative writing courses, each lasting 8 weeks, in partnership with Liverpool Libraries and Cheshire West & Chester Libraries . At the end of each writing course participants will have the opportunity to submit a short story to be included in a published anthology that will be placed in both Liverpool and Cheshire West Libraries catalogues.

Charlie Lea says,

“I am delighted to have received this funding from Arts Council England and to be working with Liverpool and Cheshire West & Chester Libraries. There is an absolute wealth of creative talent already in the region and we want to tap into those who have always wanted to write but have not, for various reasons, had the opportunity or time to do so. The course is designed to be easy to follow, fun, relaxed and yet informative at the same time. Writing is wonderful for the mind and soul. A few minutes writing can boost health and wellbeing as well as confidence and we want people from all walks of life and of any adult age to take part. There is no need to have had any experience in writing before, this is a beginner’s course and I will guide all the new writers on what they need to know to write amazing stories. I hope that this will be a steppingstone for people to become published authors in their own right.”

The courses will be inspired by the Libraries Connected and BBC Arts led campaign ‘Novels that shaped our World’ and Charlie will use examples from some of these novels to guide the writers on how to, amongst other things, set the scene, build characterisation, plot and plan their stories.

Given the current situation, all courses will take place online via Zoom rather than at library venues.  There will be a maximum of 15 free places on each course and registration will be taken on a first come, first served basis.

8-week courses from w/b 11 January 2021

  • Monday afternoon: 2pm to 3.30pm
  • Tuesday evening: 7pm to 8.30pm
  • Wednesday afternoon: 2pm to 3.30pm
  • Thursday morning: 10am to 11.30am

Top 9 Creative Writing Courses in Liverpool With Placements

Creative writing is a form of writing that goes beyond the regular writing style. it is one of the upcoming fields in the market for potential careers. several institutions provide creative writing courses in liverpool to make aspiring writers skilled. creative writing, as the name implies, is writing creatively using one’s imagination, inspiration, and innovation where the reader could visualize the story, novel, or even poetry that is written..

List of best creative writing courses in Liverpool

There is no restriction on creative writing, as there is no restriction on thinking. It can be written for any genre and style, as it doesn’t have a predetermined format. It can be written with formal, informal, or even imaginary language. It is the creativity of the writer that makes any writing unique. The writer is independent when it comes to creative writing.

Types of Creative Writing

Creative writing can be classified into two categories i.e., fiction and non-fiction.

A novel is a narrative story not less than forty thousand words with characters, setting, plot, conflict, and resolution. Anything less than 40,000 words is not a novel.

Short Stories:

A short story is a narrative story comparatively shorter than a novel consisting of a few characters and one particular theme. The word limit of short stories ranges from a thousand to four thousand words.

Poetry is a type of literature that describes a story in a lyrical representation. It may be of any genre. It may or may not have a pattern, rhythm, or rhyme. A verse of poetry is known as a stanza.

Screenplays:

A screenplay is a script for a movie, play, television show, video game, and many more. A compilation of scenes is said to be a screenplay. Scenes are usually three pages or less whereas screenplays are typically ninety to one hundred and twenty pages long.

A drama is a script that is acted out on a stage. It is also called theatre. It is different from a novel, a short story, or a poem.

Non-fiction

Auto-biography:.

An autobiography is a self-written story of the life of a person. Since it is an autobiography, it is always written in the first-person point of view, like I, me, and myself. It generally portrays the author’s life experiences, journeys, hindrances, and achievements.

Memoir is derived from a French word meaning memory. It is a non-fictional narrative based on the author’s memory. It is often confused with autobiography. An autobiography narrates the entire life of an author whereas a memoir narrates a specific event in the author’s life.

Journal Writing:

Journal is informal writing of one’s thoughts and experiences in day-to-day life. It can either be written daily or whenever feel the need to be written. It helps improve writing fluency, to have strong language, and good mental health.

Writing for speech falls under many categories based on which genre the speech is given. It can be written both formally and informally like public speaking, elocution competition, stand-up comedies, and hosting a show.

Travelogue:

It is a piece of literature describing the travel experiences of a person to a place. It is usually narrated in the first person and the past tense since it is solely based on the traveler’s experience.

The beauty of creative writing is that, with the same plot for every form of writing mentioned above, the content would be unique as it depends on the creativity of the writer who writes it. Say, for example, the plot is an unexplored place, and a novel, a poem, a script, and a speech are being written for it by different writers, the content of each of them would be different despite the same plot because each writer would use their creativity.

What Isn’t Creative Writing?

Every literary work can’t be classified as creative writing. When an article or a piece of work is based on facts, has a formal tone, and is accurate, it can’t be considered creative writing. The following piece of literature can’t be considered creative writing.

Academic Writing:

Academic writing is formal non-fiction that does not require any complicated vocabulary but is simple, structured, and clear. The four main types of analytical writing are descriptive, analytical, persuasive, and critical.

Email Writing:

An email is an electronic mail considered to be one of the fastest and cheapest communication. It is also a most effective marketing tool that includes composing, sending, and receiving messages over an electronic platform.

Journalistic Writing:

Journalistic writing is widely used to report a piece of news or an incident to the media, mostly in simple words, precise and factual. The main purpose of journal writing is to spread information to people about what is happening around them.

Technical Writing:

Technical writing involves writing and sharing technical information in a professional environment. It often includes documenting, instruction manuals, product descriptions, datasheets, press releases, reports, and so on.

Writing a textbook involves writing a particular subject for a particular grade by conducting market research and choosing a publisher to publish it.

What Are the Elements of Creative Writing?

It is not only important to include the elements of creative writing, but also to know how to use them to make the writing creative. Those elements are:

It is the plan or the base of any story. A writer should formulate the plot first and then develop the rest of the story.

Characters are the very life of any story. It might be an object, an animal, or a person. Without them, it is impossible to write a story.

Perspective:

The perspective of a story plays a significant role in deciding the direction of the story. If the narrator is a positive character, the entire story carries a positive element whereas if the narrator is a negative character, then the perspective of the whole story changes.

A genre decides the style or theme of a story. With the same characters, a story could be made in different genres.

Poetic Devices:

It is a writing technique used to express ideas and describe scenes. It makes the writing better and more impactful. The most common literary devices are:

  • Personification

Significance of Creative Writing

Everyone is born creative, but creative writers are people who can pen down their thoughts that intrigue the readers. So, it is important to be able to share one’s creativity through words. Writing is an important ingredient of life. By indulging in it, one could:

  • Become strong in their language,
  • Better clarity,
  • Boost logical thinking,
  • Broaden the vocabulary,
  • Build self-confidence,
  • Develop empathic skills,
  • Develop problem-solving skills,
  • Discover themselves,
  • Improve communication skills
  • Inspire the readers and many more.

It helps broaden the imagination by developing a plot, building the personalities of each character, writing through different perspectives, designing the physical appearance, introducing imaginary creatures, building the environment where the story happens, and so on.

When creativity is composed on paper, the writer is naturally able to express oneself without any hindrance, which in turn, makes the person who writes become strong both mentally and emotionally. It also helps to know what you want clearly. The voice in the imagination possesses authority in writing. These are well taught in creative writing courses in Liverpool.

Scope of Creative Writing

If there is one thing that could keep the audience awestruck in any genre, it is creativity. Be it in movies or books, when the imagination of the writer is portrayed perfectly, it would keep the audience spellbound. In recent years, creativity is being acknowledged and appreciated widely in every field. All one had to do is write creatively to get all this experience.

Creative writing is required not only in the field of entertainment but also in marketing. Creatively marketing a product eventually witnesses a rise in sales compared to those products that lack creativity in marketing. The opportunities available for creative writers are plenty. It all lies in how we grab them.

There is a huge demand for talented creative writers in many fields like advertising, article writing, blogging, coaching fellow writers, comic book writing, copywriting, freelancing, game developing, marketing, playwrights, screenplay, lyrics writing, and so on.

Advertising:

One live example of creative writing we encounter every day is in the form of advertising. To sell a product that has competition with other products in the market which has the same ingredients, quality, and shelf-life, creative writing plays a crucial role in selling it via advertising.

Blogging generally refers to writing and photography that is published oneself online. It is like a journal that is written online. It is used for brand awareness. That is why many companies and popular websites have a separate blog section for grabbing the attention of the audience.

Comic Book Writing:

Comics are the best example of creative writing. It involves not only deciding the character but also involves designing them. If one has an interest in creating and developing anime characters, then there is a lot of scope for them in this field.

Copywriting:

Copywriting is a form of persuasive writing that inspire people to a call to action. It is generally used for advertising, promoting business, and marketing. It can be written for websites, landing pages, Facebook ads, emails, and so on.

Freelancing:

Creative writing has more freedom in freelancing as a career compared to working for someone else. In this, the writer could express one’s creativity in full swing. The more creative the writer, the more clients they get while freelancing.

Game Developing:

Game development is one of the upcoming fields in recent trends. As the technology upgrades, so do the game. Players always expect upgrades in the game in any form and also new games now and then.

Buyers always want to buy the best. Even though the product is necessary to the buyer, the purchase happens when the creative element is present. Creative writing in marketing for a product completes the purchase successfully.

Future of Creative Writers

Writing has been in practice for a long time. Right from the time when the press was introduced, people were writing for flyers, pamphlets then eventually newspapers and articles. In the digital era, pen and paper have evolved into typing and screen. If one thing remains constant, it is writing for the content. Technology and digitization have helped evolve writing even more.

This proves that there is always a demand for people who write. People who write creatively are welcomed even more. Software and AI have changed the way how things were done before. Though it has made things so much easier comparatively, it could never replace human brains in writing creatively.

What is Creative Writing?

As the name implies, creative writing is a form of writing that surpasses the conventional boundaries of formal, academic, professional, or technical writing. It’s a style of writing where the primary focus is on the use of imagination, creativity, and innovation to portray a story through powerful textual and visual elements that have an emotional impact.

Elements of Creative Writing

Creative writing is a collection of lots of different skills and elements that need to hang well together. Even though some elements are shared between forms, they are presented differently. You should know the following elements:

Forms and Genres of Creative Writing

Importance of Creative Writing

Reading, according to statistics, fosters the development of your writing talents, but writing fosters cognitive development, organizational skills, and the capacity to persuade people. Listed below are just a few benefits that you need to know:

  • Self-Expression: It can be challenging to comprehend and articulate your feelings many times. Creative writing gives you that chance to explore and express how you feel about something.
  • Self-Confidence: Writing creatively is an exercise that’ll enable you to fully establish your unique voice and perspectives free from constrictive constraints. This will make it easier for you to feel confident while expressing your perspectives in other writings as well.
  • Imagination: When you write creatively, you create new worlds, situations, and characters. When you’re encouraging your brain to “think outside the box”, you’ll be more likely to come up with creative solutions and approach difficulties from various perspectives.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1. is it worth taking a creative writing course.

It’s not necessary to take a course to start writing, but it’s never a waste of time to learn the tools of the trade. Writing creatively requires skills that can be useful in everyday life and a course in creative writing can help you develop those skills.

Q2. What is the duration required to complete a creative writing course?

Creative Writing courses might take anywhere from 24 hours to 3 years depending upon the nature of the course and the institute you opt for.

Q3. What are the differences between Technical Writing and Creative Writing?

There are some aspects where technical writing and creative writing differ. While creative writing uses the writer’s creativity to craft a story in various textual formats, technical writing focuses mostly on factual information. Technical writing intends to inform and educate. For instance, it could facilitate the utilization of a product. However, some creative writing focuses primarily on entertainment. However, there may be some overlap because some technical writing has a narrative aspect to engage readers.

Q4. What skills do a creative writer need to possess?

The ability to communicate, discipline, observation power, creativity, adaptability, research abilities, and being open to criticism is the key skills you need to possess as a creative writer.

Creative writing is an expressive style of literature that requires you to utilize your own imagination, creativity, and story to convey a certain idea, feeling, or storyline. It challenges the limitations imposed by conventional writing styles and is wholly based on our individual choices and experiences. People who want to start creative writing should truly immerse themselves in the world of literature, reading, and writing as much as they can, and even workshop their work when feasible.

The School of English has an outstanding international reputation. Students will benefit from this strong research-led teaching covering a wide and continuous range of writing which equips students with the critical and communication skills and the capacity for adaptable intelligence which are in demand in all areas of modern life.

Engagement with media has allowed our researchers to be at the forefront of developing a rich cultural agenda at national and international levels, opening access to literature to a diverse audience. This has resulted in four staff members succeeding in the New Generation Thinkers scheme. We also actively support impact in terms of reaching the general reader, through the publication of research in various, high-profile formats. The impact of such intervention into the nation’s cultural life creates new and evolving long-term contexts for thinking, understanding, writing and imagining.

Many of the Centre’s members specialize in Contemporary Literature that overlaps with science fiction, climate change, visual arts, comics and graphic novels, travel and nature writing as well as psychogeography and the urban environment. Putting gender and race at the forefront, Anglophone and postcolonial writing as well as the fostering of genuinely innovative interdisciplinary creative writing projects which have application and potential impact (e.g. Mental health, environment), is central to the way the Centre aims to diversify and expand the reading, writing and teaching of literature in the UK. Currently the Literature and Science Hub, formerly the Centre for Poetry and Science, established 2007, sits under the wing of the Centre.

Course overview

Liverpool offers a stimulating environment to study Creative and Critical Writing thanks to our unique placement module at one of our partner institutions and our exicting programme of events. You will develop your skills and knowledge through a combination of creative engagement with prose and drama.

Introduction

The programme offers a unique placement module through which you will have the opportunity to gain practical experience as a writer in residence at one of the University of Liverpool’s partner institutions in the city. As a writer in residence in locations such as museums and galleries, you will be able to develop professional skills through activities such as writing in response to exhibitions, or running creative writing workshops.

Assessment will take the form of a portfolio consisting of creative work and reflections on the experience and requirements of the writer-in-residence role. Through core modules on contemporary prose and drama/screenwriting, you will develop your writing ability and professional awareness (i.e. submitting to agents, editorial pitches).

Liverpool offers a stimulating environment in which to study Creative and Critical Writing, thanks to its lively events calendar:

  • Including the Liverpool Literary Festival and literary events through the Centre for New and International Writing
  • The University’s connections to local literary partners such as the Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse
  • The presence of three AHRC/BBC New Generation Thinkers in the Department of English alone
  • Masterclasses with visiting writers such as the Hope Street Writer in Residence.

What you'll learn

  • How critically-informed creative practice engages with a global society, social justice, political and environmental issues and human rights
  • How creative and critical forms can complement one another
  • A greater theoretical understanding of matters pertaining to socially-engaged writing
  • How to develop your own distinctive approach to creative practice
  • How to enhance and refine your creative writing
  • An awareness of appropriate industry areas, gaining skills and confidence in approaching key figures such as agents and editors.

Studying part-time means you can study alongside work or any other life commitments. You will study the same modules as the full-time master's degree over a longer period, usually 24 months. You can make studying work for you by arranging your personal schedule around lectures and seminars which take place during the day. After you complete all the taught modules, you will complete your final dissertation or project and will celebrate your achievements at graduation the following term.

Semester one

You will take four compulsory modules in creative writing, and a mandatory dissertation. Your remaining credits will be made up of four optional modules, which may include an optional work experience placement.

Compulsory modules

Credits: 15 / semester: semester 1.

What role does the written word play in society? How can we use writing to voice opinions, shape debates and engage socially? On this module, you will develop your creative and critical skills, considering how they can blend in producing socially-engaged writing. With a focus on textual practice, you will study techniques and approaches related to a range of genres, including poetry, drama, fiction and non-fiction. Workshops will see discussions on texts tackling concepts such as race, gender, climate and class. Through digital technologies, new media and ideas of transextuality, you will think about how different platforms shape the ways in which we can produce socially-engaged texts. From questioning the ethics of lyric poetry to using archival material from the university’s Science Fiction Special Collection to imagine futures in response to contemporary issues, this module will explore textual practice as a vehicle for social justice.

On Creative Writing Workshop I, you will develop your creative practice through detailed discussion of form, style and technique. Through small-group workshops, this module will give you the support to explore the opportunities available to you as a creative writer, building your own distinctive work. In workshops, you will learn to read as writers, learning from examples from a range of writers alongside identifying and communicating the strengths and weaknesses of your own work, as well as the work of your peers. On the module, you will be encouraged to read widely according to your creative interests and discuss briefly in each workshop what you have learned from these texts. Assessment will take the form of a creative portfolio (either 3000 words prose, 4-6 poems or 10-15 pages of drama) and a 1000 word reading-log, reflecting on how your reading has influenced your writing.

Optional modules

How (and why) do we point at a story and say, “This is science fiction”, and what does such a gesture reveal about the genre and our own attitudes to its concerns? In this module, we will explore the territories that Science Fiction ranges over, historically and conceptually. From “A Planet Called Science Fiction” (weeks 1-4), which examines the space that science fiction marks out for itself, we will move into the complicated relationship that Science Fiction has with fantasy, and analyse the ways in which it has been sub-divided into various effects and sub-genres in “Travels in Genre Space” (week 5-8). The final section of the module, “Re-drawing the Genre Map” (weeks 9-12), explores the burgeoning field of sf production, its relevance to society, and the ways in which its tropes and techniques relate to other “fantastic” modes of literary production, alongside recent controversies in the field.

This module encourages students to read widely across the late 19th, 20th and 21st centuries with the specific angle of ‘crisis’. Topics may include literary responses to political, social, psychological, theological or climate crisis, aesthetic responses to moral or societal panic, war and migration/trauma, as well as any links between identity and crisis in literature and the visual (photography, film, fine art). Authors may include: Bessie Head; Jean-Paul Sartre; Virginia Woolf; Sarah Kane; Danez Smith; Solmaz Sharif among others. We will consider how the framing of crisis as a moment or event shapes how we think about chronologies of literary response and its social uses. The module will be delivered via six fortnightly seminars.

Science Fiction texts are, for all their presentations of alternative worlds, deeply embedded in the cultures that produce them. Using examples from the Science Fiction Foundation Collection and science fiction archives in the University Library, this module introduces students to skills of archival research alongside providing the knowledge required to understand how modern Science Fiction developed as a unique interaction of authors, editors, and readers. Alongside this, students will read selected sf texts that consider or reflect upon the notion of the archive and/or which reveal themselves to be “archival” texts through their relationship to their contemporary period. Although texts may vary year-by-year, indicative authors include Margaret Atwood, Alastair Reynolds, Olaf Stapledon, and John Wyndham.

The aim of this module is to read Shakespeare’s plays and poetry in company with others’ works and writings, and thereby to consider a ‘comparative’ approach to reading and interpreting Shakespeare both within and beyond his own time, and against eighteenth-century ideas of him as the great English poet of ‘Nature’, ‘Nation’, and ‘Genius’. Particular attention will be paid to Shakespeare’s contemporaries – for example Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson – as well as to his Restoration and eighteenth-century adapters and ‘improvers’, critics and performers, such as Colley Cibber and David Garrick. Material studied may include Shakespeare’s critics: Jonson to Johnson; Shakespeare and Marlowe; Shakespeare, and Milton; Hamlet and its ‘ghosts’; Richard III – sources and adaptation; and collaborative dramas in which Shakespeare is a co-author, such as All is True and Sir Thomas More.

This module encourages students to engage with literary modernism in a range of contexts, from the cities in which it was made to the periodicals in which it was published and the theories that contributed to its development. As well as analysing the formal innovations of modernist literature, students will explore connections between writers, texts, works of visual art, geographic locations and mass culture, to understand modernism as a global network of people, objects, places and ideas. Conceptions of modernity will be studied, including approaches to the past and tradition, and ideas around novelty and fashion. Authors may include: T.S. Eliot, Hope Mirrlees, Virginia Woolf, Jean Rhys, Mina Loy, Djuna Barnes, Jean Toomer and Nancy Cunard.

On this module, we will explore the strange, the uncanny and the supernatural in Victorian literature. We will examine the range and variety of Victorian Gothic writing: its hauntings, supernatural terrors and sensational stories. We will consider the literary, cultural and technological contexts of Victorian Gothic, including its relationship to realist literature, to shifting beliefs about religion, nature and the human, and to new and emerging technologies. We will also explore current critical debates in Gothic studies and introduce key theoretical approaches to the genre. Expect lots of discussion of the fears and thrills that kept Victorian readers awake at night.

Victorian literature and culture revived, reconstructed, and reimagined the Middle Ages. The nineteenth century’s fascination with days of yore saw a new word – “medieval” – invented to reflect the upsurge of interest in, and romanticisation of, the Middle Ages in art, architecture, literature, philosophy, politics, and religion. This module interrogates the ways in which the Victorians made the medieval through their literature and material culture. Students will encounter a variety of texts and objects of the Victorian revivals (medieval, Gothic and classical), through archives, art collections, digital resources, and architecture unique to the city of Liverpool. Attention will be given to the profound implications of the Victorian medieval revival on shaping ideas of England and Englishness locally and globally, past and present, showing students how they are still Victorians today.

How do editions of the literary works read and study come into being? What’s involved in their production? What textual complexities and difficulties might they obscure? And how far can or should an editor go in resolving these complexities and difficulties? The aim of this module is to show how your critical understanding and interpretation of Renaissance and eighteenth-century literary works can be enhanced by unlocking key aspects of their remarkable life and history on the page, from early printed forms through to present-day editions. Working with an expert team of tutors with current experience in the scholarly editing of early modern texts, Editing the Early Modern introduces you to key debates in textual theory, examines the specific editorial, challenges raised by works of Renaissance and eighteenth-century writes, and asks you to produce (and defend) your own scholarly edition of a passage from an early modern text. In this way, the module introduces you to the practice of scholarly editing, historical trends and current debates in editing and textual theory, as well as early modern printing practices and book history.

Semester two

Credits: 15 / semester: semester 2.

What is a voice? What does it mean to write for or with a voice? How can we use our voice to engage with concepts of social justice? On this module you will consider approaches to crafting voices through writing in range of genres, including poetry, drama, fiction and non-fiction. You will explore what it means to use voice(s) to produce socially-engaged work and how different literary and performative modes can use voice. In seminars, you will discuss the work of dramatists, poets, fiction writers and theorists, considering how creative and critical voices can combine to produce different modes of writing. You will consider how different media and spaces – such as performance spaces and podcasts – can be used to disseminate writing, thinking about the interactions between page and voice, and between creative and critical approaches. Working with your tutors, you will produce socially-engaged writing intended for performance, exploring various opportunities on offer for poetry, drama and prose.

On Creative Writing Workshop II, you will continue to develop your creative practice through detailed discussion of form, style and technique, building on the work undertaken in Creative Writing Workshop I. Through small-group workshops, this module will give you the support to explore further opportunities available to you as a creative writer, developing your writing with a view towards your Dissertation. In workshops, you will continue to become increasingly adept at identifying and communicating the strengths and weaknesses of your own work, as well as the work of your peers. You will enhance your awareness of contemporary literature and develop your professional skills by researching key industry figures/institutions appropriate to your writing. Assessment will take the form of a creative portfolio (either 3000 words prose, 4-6 poems or 10-15 pages of drama) and a mock 1000 word pitch to an industry figure (i.e. agent, commissioning editor, producer, etc.).

The philosopher Rosi Braidotti tells us that science fiction unfolds social imaginaries that reveal to us our potential to metamorphose, to mutate to become posthuman, while Donna Haraway urges us to embrace our cyborg identities. Such new materialist thinking shapes this module. To borrow from Karen Barad, what we’re interested in here is how ‘matter itself is diffracted’; how are different kinds of bodies – human and non-human, gendered, raced, classed, aged, prosthetic, engineered, planetary – materialized and sedimented according to the various spaces in which they find themselves. These spaces can be bewilderingly diverse in science fiction: from the hyper-urban to the rural, from the aquatic to the aerial, from high to zero gravity, from confined spacecraft quarters to the hostile expanses of desert planets. We’ll explore representations of gender, race and religion, with particular attention to the ways in which bodies become vulnerable or empowered, protected or miscegenated. And we’ll also address the ethical and practical concerns of exploration, immigration, colonization and cultural imperialism, all the while with an eye to theories of embodiment that take us far beyond binary thought into new forms of becoming.

This module explores the literary and cultural frameworks within which scientific knowledge and practice was produced, narrated, and communicated during the Renaissance and long eighteenth century. Reading science as performance, and theatre as experiment, the module will locate plays alongside alchemical and natural philosophical ideas and writings, in order to think through the issues both literature and science raise about secrecy and public demonstration, curiosity and observation, audience, and space. The module will also pay attention to how emerging ways of knowing and seeing influenced poetic and prose accounts of body and mind, discovery and imagination, and nature and self, and how writers were inspired by or set themselves against different narratives of nature, from simple conceits to grand visions of the cosmos.

Reading was woven into the fabric of the Victorian world. Thanks to urban living, cheaper printing, and vastly increased rates of literacy, Victorian society was one of the first societies where you might not have known your neighbours very well, but in which you were surrounded by vast swathes of paper and print – a forest of words. This module not only aims to investigate how the Victorians thought about reading – what they read, how they read it, and how reading itself was thought about and portrayed in literature; but also how we read the Victorians today – who reads them, how and where they are read, how that reading is perceived and constructed, and what insights and benefits our reading of the Victorians in the contemporary moment might gift to us.

This module focuses on theories of the body in contemporary critical thought and in modern and contemporary literature using relevant theory to support readings of a range of literary texts. We will study politically informed theories such as critical race studies, feminist, queer and disability studies and topics such as the maternal body, the body in pain and the ageing body. In all these cases the body emerges as a concept marked by internal division in terms of sex, gender, age, size, and race. We will study bodies as organisms and bodies as social phenomena, exploring the tension between the body’s material manifestations and its sites of immateriality such as the mind, spirit, psyche and affect.

This module asks students to consider the question ‘What is the Contemporary?’. How can literature help us to understand our sense of ‘the now’ and locate us in the present? And what does it have to tell us about our past and our future? These enquiries take in a series of literary and critical positions on matters of ‘the present’ and ‘contemporariness’ as explored through literature and theory. Over a series of seminars, students will be required to conceptualise and understand the different ways that we can understand the idea of the contemporary, contemporaneousness as a historical term and as a term of theoretical discourse.

This module examines the literary representation of murder and other serious crimes in the Victorian period. Students will examine the interrelation of different genres in the period (such as court and newspaper reports, essays and the novel). The module considers these topics in relation to wider cultural and intellectual developments such as evolving ideas about psychology and forensic evidence, and in particular how such matters may be reproduced in literature so as to allow the reader a window into the world of crime. Students will be encouraged to consider the significance of genre when thinking about Victorian representations of murder and to engage with a wider range of primary sources. They will develop appropriate research methods and understanding of theoretical perspectives, and combine these with detailed textual analysis in the development their critical reading and writing skills.

This module is an opportunity for you to undertake a placement in a setting which matches your writing and possible career/industry interests, develop materials and/or undertake tasks within a practical or vocational context, apply creative and/or academic knowledge from your degree, and develop your personal and employability skills within a working environment.

At the end of the sixteenth century, England was making its first attempts to build a tradition as a nation of travellers and unsuccessfully attempting to establish colonies in north America. By the end of the Eighteenth century the European Grand Tour was a standard part of a British aristocratic education, and the British Empire was a global force actively participating in the international slave trade. This module looks at both literary and non-literary records of and responses to: the relationship between the ‘old world’ or the Mediterranean and the ‘new world’ of the Americas; the encounter with unfamiliar people and lands; the rise of and debate about the international slave trade, from the perspective of both the enslaver and the enslaved; the literary and cultural importance of these developments for the city of Liverpool.

Final project

During the summer you will complete a dissertation.

Credits: 60 / Semester: whole session

At the end of your MA in Creative and Critical Writing, you will submit a significant portfolio of writing in the form of either 14,000-15,000 words of prose, 70-80 pages of drama or 20-25 pages of poetry. Over the course of four one-to-one meetings with your supervisor, you will develop plans for a substantial piece of writing that will demonstrate your originality as a creative writer. This module is a culmination of previous modules studied on the MA, in which you will bring to bear the skills, knowledge and confidence you have developed over the course of the Master’s programme.

How you'll learn

Teaching is delivered through a combination of seminars and tutorials held on campus. Depending on which module options are taken, there may be lectures and separate seminar sessions scheduled, but all classes will take place on campus in person. Class sizes for Masters programmes in the Department of English tend to be small, and a typical class in English will include between 8-10 students.

How you're assessed

Students will for the most part be assessed by a combination of formative and summative coursework. This will take a number of different forms, including essays, essay plans, research proposals, and a dissertation. In addition, students will be assessed by presentations in certain modules. Other assessment formats may apply also depending on the options modules taken.
