Find out how creative and critical writing belong together, and how the development of your own compositional practice (poetry, fiction or creative non-fiction) can be enriched by a wider knowledge of and engagement with critical and philosophical thinking.
Our MA is driven by the sense that creative writing is profoundly enhanced and transformed by a knowledge and appreciation of critical and philosophical texts. This course, the first of its kind in the UK, has been flourishing for some 20 years. It is integrally linked to longstanding intellectual traditions of 'Sussex English’ in:
creative writing
psychoanalysis
Marxism
ecocriticism and environmental writing
postcolonialism and neocolonialism
deconstruction
feminism
queer theory
word-image theory and practice.
Our faculty includes writers of international standing working in diverse creative and critical genres. Your teaching is underpinned by the interdisciplinary research carried out in the Centre for Creative and Critical Thought.
