This Masters level, writing-intensive course looks through the lens of Folklore, Religion and Myth to incorporate the timeless motifs, emotional resonance, and powerful impact that myth creates. We discover the echoes in our personal history, literature, scripture, folk-tales, songs and culture.
Through the reading, writing, and critical analysis of mythic literature, participants will learn techniques to produce myth-based novels that often speak through metaphor, symbol, allusion and echo. Samples of novels and movies will be used as models.
