The short answer: a collection of short stories and an analysis of the use of short fiction in the teaching of creative writing

This thesis will explore how writers learn and how best to facilitate this learning using short fiction within Creative Writing education. The critical essay will demonstrate how short fiction is a particularly appropriate literary medium for the development of Creative Writing students, and will argue a need for a more formalised language of Creative Writing criticism and for an extension of applied theoretical tools, modelled in this thesis. The study also explores how best to apply flexibility to the curriculum, in order to meet the needs of a perennially diverse student body producing a variety of different works in different styles, and calls for tutors to be more consciously engaged in translating their writing experience into innovative pedagogies. The associated portfolio of original short fiction has been developed in concert with the study, using techniques and processes detailed within. It aims to demonstrate the overall suitability of the short story form for the development and assessment of student-writers, while charting my own dual development as both a student and teacher of writing

“Like some damned Juggernaut” – The proto-filmic monstrosity of late Victorian literary figures

The eponymous heroes of "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde", "The Picture of Dorian Gray" and "Dracula" are known to most through the medium of film. These novels were adapted early on in the history of the medium and have been revisited by film makers countless times. This book asks why they had such a lasting resonance in film. It claims that the monsters featured in these novels, which were written at the advent of cinematography, differ from previous Gothic leads: Jekyll/Hyde, Dorian Gray and Dracula were born from a sense of unease with the photographic image at a time when it began to move. They embody fears triggered by new ways of representing – and thus thinking about – the human body. Their exhibitions of deviant corporeality and its effect on others anticipate the representation of the human body in film as well as an audience’s reception of a film. Through its numerous case studies, this monograph is able to show that film history can be told as a history of the representation of the human body. It features discussions of films as diverse as "Der Januskopf", "Nosferatu", "Vampyr", "Le Testament du Docteur Cordelier", "Altered States", "Dorian Gray im Spiegel der Boulevardpresse" and "Bram Stoker’s Dracula".Viele kennen "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde", "The Picture of Dorian Gray" und "Dracula" nur aus Filmen. Warum sind gerade diese drei Schauerromane, die zur Geburtsstunde der Kinematographie entstanden, immer wieder verfilmt worden? Dieser Frage spürt die vorliegende Studie nach. Als Produkte des spätviktorianischen Unbehagens über das fotographische Abbild, das im Begriff steht, zum Bewegtbild zu werden, sind ihre Titelfiguren Monster eines neuen Typus. In ihrer abnormen Körperlichkeit und ihrer Wirkung auf andere nehmen Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, Dorian Gray und Graf Dracula vorweg was mit dem Menschen im und durch den Film geschieht. Anhand der Figuren von Dorian Gray, Jekyll/Hyde und Dracula rekonstruiert die vorliegende Studie die frühe Filmtheorie als Denken über das Verhältnis des Menschen zu seinem Körper. Unter den Filmen, die als Realisationen des proto-filmischen Potentials der drei Figuren besprochen werden, sind "Der Januskopf", "Nosferatu", "Vampyr", "Le Testament du Docteur Cordelier", "Altered States", "Dorian Gray im Spiegel der Boulevardpresse" und "Bram Stoker’s Dracula"
