General Information

Overview

An exegesis refers to a piece of writing accompanying an existing creative work. The exegesis is the result of extensive research into the various aspects of the creative writing project: the characteristics of the genre, the theoretical and literary influence of the writing context, and the shaping elements in a literary work of art. In this unit you will prepare an exegesis to accompany your creative artefact. You will also complete an annotated bibliography to assist you in: a) clearly stating the relationship between the creative and scholarly components of your creative writing project, and b) supporting your assertions with evidence and critical analysis. To complete this unit, you will combine your creative artefact with your accompanying exegesis and submit your Dissertation. The maximum combined length of your Dissertation (constituting the creative artefact and the corresponding exegesis) can be up to 16,000 words.
