Writing About FlorenceLA CW WF 320
Credit hours 3
Contact hours 45
Since the nineteenth century - and even before - Florence and Tuscany have provided inspiration for a large number of Anglo-American writers: poets (Shelley, Elizabeth Barrett Browning), novelists (George Eliot, D.H. Lawrence, E.M. Forster, Thomas Harris), or travel writers/memoirists (John Ruskin, Mary McCarthy, David Leavitt). This creative writing course will guide students to find their own voice in responding to the city of Florence and their own experience of it. The resulting work may be in the form of a short story, poetry, or non-fiction writing. All written work will be presented to the class for discussion. Reading assignments of the work of well known writers on Florence will be discussed in class. Walking tours of the city and its outskirts will form part of the course.
