Our English Literature MA seeks to train scholars in the study of writing and culture, across a range of periods, national traditions, and genres. It has an open and flexible study route. You’ll be able to choose from a number of modules that address a range of issues and topics in the field of English Literature.
Modules range from literary and cultural theory to an assortment of Anglophone and translated literature in English, from Shakespeare to Victorian, North American to Postcolonial writing.
