Overview
About the programme
We specialize in material culture, periodical culture, travel-writing and literary tourism, the representation of vagrancy, slavery and slave-narratives, British and American fiction (especially historical fiction, women’s writing, and children’s literature), book history, and the interconnections between literature and music, empire and colonialism, war, and disability.
Our academics and research students work across and within a number of lively research groupings within and beyond English and Creative Writing, including HOBAR (History of Books, Authorship, and Reading), PGLRG (Post-colonial and Global Literatures Research Group), GOTH (Gender and Otherness in the Humanities), Literature and Music, and Digital Humanities.
We work with museums, libraries and archives across the UK and Europe to develop research impact and knowledge exchange, and we facilitate similar opportunities for our research students. This Romanticism and 19th Century Literature degree programme is offered at The Open University UK.
