Welcome to Literature and Creative Writing

The School has a long-established international reputation in literary studies, and particularly for its pioneering courses in creative writing. The School encompasses a wide range of creative and critical activities, and it is this conjunction of criticism and creativity which characterises its unique approach to the study of literature and writing.

We have strong interests in contemporary writing, in understanding the importance and function of literature, and writing more generally, in the world today. As part of that understanding, the school also has a strong commitment to historical and critical engagements with literature of all periods.
