The academic staff of the Department of Literature are all experienced teachers and committed researchers. Research-informed teaching ensures our modules ask students to participate in the latest thinking on a wide range of cultural and intellectual traditions. We teach our students to think critically about complex topics from different perspectives and to present their ideas in a variety of formats, but always in fluent and persuasive ways. Our expertise spans a range of literary periods and movements, including Romanticism, the Victorian, Modernism, Postmodern and Contemporary, and Ecocriticism.
