Our MSc Literature and Modernity: 1900 to the Present offers an advanced focus on literature produced from the start of the twentieth century to the present day.
You will explore how writers and other cultural figures have sought to reimagine and reinvent what literature can do, how they have responded to changing social and political contexts, and how their work offers both insights into the past and ideas that speak to the present moment.
Your studies will take you through a broad and fascinating field, from the originators of literary modernism – including figures such as T. S. Eliot, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf – to late twentieth-century postmodernists and contemporary writers who continue to explore innovative ways of writing about our changing world.
We’ll explore both canonical and lesser studied writers, with the opportunity to engage with a wide range of theoretical contexts, including:
- critical race studies
- ecocriticism and animal studies
- feminist theory
- Marxist theory
- medical humanities
- psychoanalysis
- posthumanism
- postcritique
- queer theory
