ABOUT
What you will study
Building on your existing knowledge, this course will advance your understanding of literary theory, sharpen your academic writing and add authority to your critical voice. We’ll equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to start debating about how notions of literary value change over time, how literature responds to and shapes social change, and the new and distinctive forms of writing emerging in the 21st century.
If you aspire to go on to postgraduate research, this course is ideal for you. Our course is also a great choice if you’re looking for a broad overview of Anglophone culture or you want to develop an impressive level of knowledge within a particular field of literary studies.
Academics and events
Our course offers you the chance to learn from and discuss your ideas with both published academics and creative writers. We’ll also give you access to several conferences, seminars and workshops hosted throughout the year. These cover a wide range of thought-provoking topics within literature, language and linguistics, cultural studies and creative writing.
Thanks to the vibrant research culture of our School of Literature and Languages, you’ll benefit from a programme of research seminars, workshops and lectures, featuring invited speakers from universities in the UK and beyond. Our cultural activities begin with the Morag Morris Poetry Lecture on campus each year, which includes a visiting speaker and readings by students from the Guildford School of Acting.
