Literature: French Literature Post 1945
This ten week course ranges widely across postwar French literature and its themes and concerns. Stephen has discussed French literature before, but these texts are all previously untaught.
The texts are:
The Plague - Albert Camus.
Memoirs of Hadrian - Marguerite Yourcenar.
Missing Person - Patrick Modiano.
Street of Thieves - Mathias Enard.
Simple Passion - Annie Ernaux.
These very different books will introduce us to disparate elements of the French psyche, and explore themes of identity, memory and displacement.
The course will feature lectures, group discussions, close-reading and contextualisation of the historical moments pertinent to each writer and text. It will be provoking intellectually and imaginatively, and lively participation is encouraged.

Creative Writing: 'Roots' Creative Writing: Structure & Point-of-View
Practice techniques for creating short stories, true or untrue in fortnightly sessions. We'll apply the principles of short fiction to our writing, with the focus this term on thinking about how point-of-view impacts on structure. There will be writing exercises, discussions, an optional weekly homework task and feedback. Guidance on feedback techniques will be provided. The course content has flexibility, and will be adapted to suit the needs of the group. Suitable for improvers.
This course uses the same content as the other fortnightly class, Creative Writing: Structure & Point of View Q00012330, the Thursday evening course, Structure & Point-of-View, and the Friday morning course, Creative Writing: Structure & Point-of-View, therefore you need only enrol on to one of them.
