This topic is a component in the Honours program for English and Creative Writing students. Reading Like a Writer builds on core literary knowledge from undergraduate literature topics by examining foundational literary texts and theories of intertextuality, parody and allusion. In this topic, students will be given a literary case study to explore these theories. Students will complete an analysis of a primary literary text (or texts) and of associated theoretical material.

This topic aims to:

provide students with the skills in literary analysis, and more specifically in understanding literary theories, needed to complete Honours-level work
