Creative Writing: Or, Writing with Virginia Woolf Course Synopsis: In this 8-week course, we will be reading works by the modernist writer Virginia Woolf - as well as works by figures such as Loy, Stein, Cixous, Sontag and Ozick - to inspire creative writing assignments in fiction and creative nonfiction. The aim is not to emulate Woolf exactly in the assignments (although writing in a Woolfian mode may be part of the student’s approach in some assignments). Instead, the aim is to inspire creative writing by a) critically analysing and unpacking a specific writer’s approach to fiction and creative nonfiction, and by b) responding to prompts inspired by moves that Woolf and other critical-creative writers have made in their work. Woolf has been chosen because of her flexible approach to both fiction and nonfiction, often melding the two to create: self-reflective diaries and letters, nonfiction essays employing literary technique, fiction inspired by autobiography, biographies that treat the subject as a character, and literary criticism that is itself literary.
