Summary
94% of our research overall in English Language and Literature was assessed to be world leading or internationally excellent (REF 2021)
From Medieval and Renaissance writing to the 18th century to the present, from the novel to poetry to modernism, postmodernism and the contemporary scene – we’re strongly committed to the interdisciplinary study of literature.
We’re one of the largest graduate communities in the country, with over 200 students and more than 50 faculty. You’ll benefit from expert supervision, teacher training and research workshops, as well as a lively annual roster of symposia, conferences and guest lectures.
You have the opportunity to look at literature in relation to philosophy, visual culture and the history of ideas. You could base your project in an area such as:
-
postcolonial theory
-
feminist theory
-
gay and lesbian criticism
-
queer theory
-
recent developments in psychoanalytic, Marxist, poststructuralist and ‘new historicist’ criticism.
We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
