Course aim

To build on textual intervention skills by examining the ways in which canonical literary texts have been reworked and reproduced in contemporary society, and to use these as a basis for creative and critical writing.

Course content

Students will extend their knowledge of literature and writing by investigating how canonical texts have been interpreted and reworked over time and for different audiences, and how they continue to provide a source of creativity for writers and producers in various media. Students will familiarise themselves with selected original texts to analyse a range of existing products and create their own texts.
