Literature: Rebellion, Defiance and Breaking out
In this course we will be celebrating, criticising and discussing together writings which either portray rebellion and defiance, or which by their very style overturn the rules. From the most modern writers today such as Sarah Moss and Zoe Gilbert through to Shakespeare鈥檚 plays and back in time to legendary figures described by the earliest writers in English, questions arise around rebels, their actions 鈥 and how authors perceive them: what situations drive personal or political acts of rebellion? What is an author鈥檚 intention in presenting disobedience or unrest? How do writers portray to us the act of rebellion or the character of a rebel? Together, we shall be seeking answers.

鈼 How the ghosts of metre and rhyme may exist in free
verse, and how to achieve this
鈼 How rhythm is generated within free verse through sonic
devices.
鈼 How rhythms of conversational speech are related to the
rhythm of free verse, and how this produces a form of
elevated speech.
鈼 Rhyme and Rhythm in traditional poetry.
The course will explore one technique each week and concentrate
on workshopping this via the development of a subject during each
session. These sessions will be built from structured inspiration
tasks, discussion and experimentation with ideas and languages.
