what literature inspires you?

Do you like reading the classics, like Shakespeare and the Brontes, or works by contemporary writers?

Do you like gothic literature such as Dracula or Trueblood, dystopian works like 1984 and The Handmaid's Tale, or are you interested in the diverse literatures of Africa, South Asia, or the Caribbean?

Or perhaps you enjoy creating your own literary works, from poetry, fiction and life writing to podcasts and vlogs?

Whatever your interests, our courses in English and creative writing will immerse you in a number of literary worlds.
