PhD MScR English Literature

It s not every graduate who can claim to have earned a degree at the oldest department of English Literature in the world. We first offered courses on rhetoric and belles lettres 250 years ago, and have been renowned as a vigorous centre of scholarship, teaching and learning ever since. English Literature houses the Centre for the History of the Book and is one of the UK's leading forces in this area. It works closely with the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities and with the National Library of Scotland. The latter's recently acquired Murray Archive is crucial for studies in Romanticism, Book History, Bibliography and Archive Studies.
