The English part of the programme takes you on an exciting journey across a diverse range of Anglophone literatures. You will read works of literature spanning the Middle Ages to the 21st century in their historical context, learning how and why certain literary forms (for example, the novel) emerged when they did. Our modules cover a wide range of media, from plays, novels, poetry and short stories to more recent and emerging cultural forms such as comics/graphic novels, film, television and digital culture. You will study writers from Britain, Ireland, the United States, Africa, Asia and beyond. In addition to historicist approaches to the study of literature, our team's expertise spans a wide variety of methods and approaches, enabling you to take modules in Creative Writing (poetry, prose, screenplays), Creative Industries (Publishing, Museum Studies, Theatre and Film) and Critical Theory.
