How to Read a Novel
From the University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh International Book Festival.

What makes a great novel? How is a novel woven together? How can we best appreciate works of fiction?  

Answer these questions and more with these videos taken from a course run by the University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh International Book Festival. You’ll discover four of the main building blocks of modern fiction: plot, characterisation, dialogue, and setting using examples from a range of texts including the four novels shortlisted for the James Tait Black fiction prize. Ideal for anyone who enjoys reading.

These videos are free open resources originally created for the short course How to Read a Novel on FutureLearn.

If the course is not currently running, you can still work through the resources in your own time using the videos in this channel.
