Study Details: 1-2 Years
Our English Literature MA is an opportunity to engage with a wide range of contemporary and historical texts to explore questions of intertextuality, adaptation, appropriation, tradition and literary inheritance. As well as studying texts in depth, you will go beyond this to consider their wider contexts and the interelationships between them. We also focus on investigating the concept of literary value, how it can be determined or disputed, and literature’s relationship to space and place.
