We seek to foster your love of literature, film, and theatre, so you graduate with a real understanding and appreciation of the subject area. You'll be introduced to writing in English from the Renaissance to the present, and have the opportunity to participate in new research areas such as Animal Studies. We encourage you to widen your interests within the subject.
There are a variety of optional modules on offer led by leading researchers in the field. These may include: Representing the Holocaust; Performing Shakespeare; America in the 1960s; War on Screen; Literature & Nonsense; Afro-American Literature; Marx, Darwin, Freud. We also introduce you to the key methods of cultural analysis, and a broad historical sweep of literary periods in order to expand your enthusiasms. We have particular strengths in the Gothic, American cold war culture, Early Modern literature, and Victorian literature, amongst others. You can also take creative writing modules throughout the degree programme, as well as joining modules run by our colleagues in theatre.
