The Grammar of Love: A course in meaning - February 2017!

The Writing Connection 2017

The Grammar of Love

a course in meaning

The course content is based on the idea that the pivotal stages in world literature express stages of relatedness or love.

In The Grammar of Love we will look at the way that significant writers have dealt with these stages in their work. We will use their attempts as a springboard for our own writing.
