Our MA’s core idea is 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.
