What you will study

How do we make the past speak to the present? How do we decide whose story we want to tell and how to make that story engaging and credible?
The Writing Historical Fiction course offered by University of Oxford will cover research, characterisation, dialogue and narrative structure through a combination of individual writing exercises, group discussion, close textual analysis and workshopping.
