MA LITERATURE

This program, fully taught in English, aims to provide students with a thorough knowledge of literatures in English, in all their historical (from the 16th century to the present day), cultural and generic diversity. They will study the history of major literary forms (poetry, prose and drama), the links between literature and its context of production, canonical texts, as well as emerging literary forms, with openings towards the visual arts and links between text and image. They will further acquire theoretical tools to improve their understanding and analysis of literary texts. Our program also emphasizes the acquisition of cross-disciplinary capacities, such as writing skills, synthesis and oral presentation, documentary research, teamwork and communication, which all prepare our students for the job market, especially in fields related to research and teaching, translation, publishing and communication, and cultural professions in France and abroad.
