Creative Writing: Return of the Short Story
The short story is making a comeback - varied, rule-breaking and fun, interest in this once side-lined form is expanding. Writing a compelling short is a craft within itself and sometimes regarded as a ‘dark art’ - Does every word really need to count? When does the story really start? When should it end? We explore the varying forms, cross the genres and consider the outlets. There’s never been a better time to find inspiration and get motivated, if you have an idea for a story - now is the time.

History: What really led to The Second World War?
Churchill said: ‘It could have been prevented without a single shot being fired, but no one would listen.’ His counterpart, Neville Chamberlain, wrote: I know I can save the country and I do not believe anyone else can.’ Some in France, meanwhile, initially failed to take Hitler seriously. Unlike Poland, both France and Chamberlain have been blamed for failing to stand up to Hitler. But is this fair, given the memories of the First Word War? Beginning with the Polish port of Gdańsk (Danzig) and the ‘Polish Corridor,’ this course explores how Britain, France, Germany and Italy became involved in one of the world’s most formative events whose legacy continues to be felt today.
