There are 4 modules in this course

Answer these questions and more with this course from The University of Edinburgh. On the course you’ll discover four of the main building blocks of modern fiction: plot, characterisation, dialogue, and setting using examples from a range of texts including the four novels shortlisted for the 2024 James Tait Black fiction prize. You’ll also explore the formal strategies authors use, how they came to be, and how they affect us as readers. The next facilitated session will run from 13 January 2025 - 7 February 2025.
