A persuasive school of thought believes that the study of poetry can be greatly enhanced by learning how to write in such long-lived and basic forms as the sonnet as well as acquiring a practical knowledge of versification. Similarly, an understanding of fiction can be enhanced by an awareness of different approaches to narrative, dialogue and characterisation. Poetry and fiction will therefore be studied from these practical and technical perspectives in alternate weeks. (Group E)
