In this MA, which is studied online, you will engage with and write historical fiction using fiction and historical research methods. You will have the opportunity to develop the kinds of historical fiction writing that interest you. As part of this process you will also develop a range of key skills in critical reflection and creative practice. You will have the opportunity to deepen employabile skills through the production of industry focused writing, a module analysing industry contexts and meeting industry professionals in the final residential module. As well as the group sessions (delivered online) and directed exercises you will work with tutors on a one to one basis. We also have a strong focus on the relationship between critical theory and creative writing and the intersection of a number of theoretical perspectives with creative practice, including eco-criticism, psychoanalysis, biopolitics and regionality.
