Abstract
This course will teach the advanced writer the protocols of historical narrative and essay for a general audience. We will use the hardcopy and digital archives of Brown, the Rhode Island Historical Society, and the student's family. Each writer will research primary and secondary sources, use interviews and oral histories, and shape three true stories of the past. Possible forms: Dramatic narrative; Reflective essay; Imagined history. Required: Intensive library work, revisions, and peer editing in workshops.
