Gain a first-class grounding in literature from the middle ages to the present, while learning to respond to your reading in inventive ways. Whether handling 15th-century manuscripts in the Norwich archives or writing your own critical introduction to a novel published only last year, your apprenticeship as a literary critic will blend high-level analytical skills and broad and deep knowledge, with an attention to critical writing as a craft.
We emphasise choice and flexibility, giving you the chance to build your own unique journey through English literature. You’ll discover writers from the medieval period to the present day – from medieval romance via Shakespeare, Milton, and Austen, to novelists and poets who are writing now – and from across the globe, from Europe to Latin America. Or you might try out some of the real-world applications of your literary training in our modules on journalism and publishing, or blur the boundaries between literary criticism and creativity in our innovative creative-critical modules. With no exams, our coursework allows you the chance to experiment in your writing and find your own critical voice, while working closely with our worldleading critics and writers. Whatever your journey, you will graduate as a passionate and informed advocate for the literature you love. |
