Master creative writing students find inspiring home

By Evie Copland

Ambleside in the Lake District will become the inspiration for University of Cumbria’s postgraduate students in September this year.

The course will give students the chance to study a range of Romantic and post-Romantic texts in the landscape and the environment that inspired them.

Course Leader Dr Penny Bradshaw said: “The Lake District has provided the inspiration for many renowned writers, poets, film-makers and artists, from the Romantic period to present.  The MA offers you the unique opportunity to study within these influential surroundings and to develop a deeper understanding of creative responses to this region.”


The course is based just miles from Dove Cottage, former home of William Wordsworth.
