The MA in English Literature offers a combination of various approaches to the study of literary texts, including the historical, author-oriented readings, periodization and a postmillennial focus. It is underpinned by certain core issues: identity, culture and literary engagement; historical contexts; the ideological and social function of literature; exploring self and others through literary forms and genres; how we might more effectively read texts and the world. Students can study a range of topics and periods including the contemporary, and it is designed to appeal to those who are preparing to undertake further research in literary studies; wishing to take their general studies in English literature to the next level; or, hoping to enhance their career prospects. The introductory module, Reading, Research & Writing, reinforces and further develops all the required skills and competencies relevant to literary studies, ensuring that from the third term students can pursue self-directed research on an agreed topic of their choice and submit a 15,000-word dissertation.
