Course content

This course allows graduates with first degrees in literature, cultural studies, or related areas to take their studies to a more specialised level or in an entirely new direction. The MLitt in Literature, Culture and Place focuses on the way literary and cultural texts both shape and respond to the notion of place, exploring literary and theoretical approaches from a variety of contexts in the literature of modernity.

The course is unique in the UK. It combines a broad range of periods and places. Specialist expertise is provided by teaching staff, who are members of the Centre for Literature, Culture & Place. You’ll use rare local resources, such as:

• the University library's collections of eighteenth-century travel writing
• the National Gallery of Scotland's landscape collection
• the Canadian collections at the National Library of Scotland
