Creative Nonfiction from the point of view of the writer. Study and analysis of major examples of the essay to disclose the technical choices confronted by their authors. Consideration of subject matter and its formulation; techniques of characterization; point of view; reflexivity and the author’s relation to their material; structure of the narrative; and questions of rhythm, style, tone, and atmosphere. Complemented by the study of critical works.
