历史

While on a sabbatical in 1996 at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK, Dr. Mark 阿克塞尔罗德 met a professor who had established the Arthur Miller Centre for American Studies. One of the Center's distinguishing features was that it invited national 和 international writers to speak while they happened to be in the UK.

巧合的是, UEA was looking for other institutions that might have an interest in being part of a consortium to run 约翰家禽 estate as a writers’ retreat after he died. Dr. 阿克塞尔罗德, having known Fowles a decade earlier through some correspondence, agreed to meet with Fowles to discuss the possibility of Chapman joining the consortium.

Dr. 阿克塞尔罗德 traveled to Fowles’ estate in Lyme Regis where they discussed future plans; during the conversations, Dr. 阿克塞尔罗德 seized the opportunity to ask Fowles if he would be willing to attach his name to a center at Chapman similar to the one at UEA.

约翰·福尔斯回答道, “If it would be helpful to promote creative writing for 学生, 那么无论如何.”  And so the 约翰·福尔斯中心 for Creative Writing was born.

多年来, the JFC has invited some of the most distinguished writers in the world including Salman Rushdie, 路易莎Valenzuela, Lawerence Ferlinghetti, 约翰·艾, 不可思议的瑞塔, 艾丽西亚帕, 艾丽西亚Kozameh, hib Conteris, 雷蒙德Federman, 史蒂夫·卡茨, 罗纳德·Sukenick, 劳尔国家, 伊丽莎白·乔治。, 大卫·迈特林, 劳里石头, 查尔斯•伯恩斯坦, 拉里McCaffery, 威利斯Barnstone, 达契亚Maraini, 弗朗西斯卡Duranti, 朱塞佩·孔蒂等等. Not only has it become a 澳门威尼斯人app下载大学 institution, 但它已经获得了区域性, national 和 international notoriety 和 has become a draw for 学生 和 community alike.
