CRWR 256 - Historic(al) Fictions

FC ARHU WINT

4 credits
In this 200-level Creative Writing course, students will read two kinds of texts: historical works of fiction that invented or popularized elements of craft we now take for granted, and contemporary historical fictions of diverse kinds, particularly those that explore the history of technology, work, and innovation. Students will also have the opportunity to write historical fiction of their own for workshop review. Weekly reading responses, creative work due on an established schedule, and completion of substantive final work will be important elements of the course.
