MA Literature

1 Year On Campus Masters Program

University of Essex

Program Overview

You grapple with the challenges of conducting research into Shakespeare and other early modern literature, acquiring specialist skills in archival research, palaeography, and the study of rare and antiquated books. You study materials on 18th century drama and literature, visiting the UK s only surviving Regency Theatre to investigate how architecture affected the content of drama, and how drama reflected Georgian society. The department offers a distinctively comparative approach to the study of literature; at Essex you don t just study English literature, you study world literature in English. You explore literature across time, geography, and genre, combining scholarly research with innovative, practical ways of engaging with texts.
