CRW: Fiction Writers I

55-1200

This course develops writers' approach to reading and to writing about literature being read as an integral, dynamic part of the writers' process, development, and career. Journals and other writings by such authors as D.H. Lawrence, Richard Wright, and Virginia Woolf are used as examples of how writers read and write about what they read in order to learn to develop dimensions of their own fiction and to become aware of their uniqueness and commonality with other writers' efforts. Manuscripts and notes of famous works may be used to show writers' processes and development.
