"Molding Your Style" introduces students to the almost inexhaustible range of possibilities for stylistic manipulation, by recasting a given source passage (about a page) into the style of one or another of the great stylists of the English language. Along the way they learn some of the tools of stylistic analysis and criticism, as well as ways of recasting their writing to create different moods and effects. The course is accordingly good preparation for both writing and critical literary study.Prerequisites
No formal prerequisite, but some awareness of prose style as a deliberate and controlled phenomenon is essential. It is highly recommended that the student have taken at least some literature course.
Recommended background
Builds naturally on "Molding Your Prose" and "Molding Your Argument"; almost any background in literary reading and writing is likely to prove beneficial, and it is probably particularly suitable to those who are pursuing creative writing generally. Students have taken the course several times with profit.
Teacher's notes:
