Key Features
Students can develop their own areas of interest in a particular period, genre, or theme, and are able to gain experience of public speaking by presenting their own research at twice-yearly MA symposia at the Wren library in Lincoln Cathedral.
Current research in the School of English and Journalism has particular strengths in 21st Century literature, 19th Century literature, women’s writing, politics, Gothic literature, utopianism, American fiction, eco-criticism, and drama.
