English and Creative Writing

Reading Differently. Writing Boldly.

Studying English and Creative Writing at Lincoln gives you the space to explore influential literature and the ideas that shaped it, while developing your own voice as a writer.

You’ll analyse texts across genres and periods, experiment with your own creative work, and receive guidance from published authors who bring real-world experience into your learning. You’ll also have access to unique cultural resources, including the Tennyson Archives and the Lincoln Cathedral Library’s collection of medieval manuscripts, offering rare opportunities to engage directly with literary history.
