This survey of both canonical and contemporary texts offers a focused study of creative nonfiction designed to reinforce the relationship between close reading and the production of new work. Students examine the emergence of the genre in a historical context from Montaigne's essays to contemporary texts. Students read from an individual reading list developed in consultation with the faculty mentor. The reading list will include, but not be limited to, works based on the optional thematic strand of war literature.
