Focus 2070 - Writers As Readers

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

Writing as a creative response to reading is examined through this seminar. Just as modern students are students of literature, so too were writers in the past students of their literary heritage. How did major English writers-Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Austen, Keats, and Yeats, among others-respond to what they read? Students consider the ways these writers resisted, embraced, and repudiated the efforts of those who had written before them. Readings and discussions elicit each student's own creative and critical responses. As happened in the past, the reading writer is answered by the writing reader.
