Modern Literature and Culture. University of Roehampton

The MA in Modern Literature and Culture offers an exciting and dynamic approach to the study of literature from the eighteenth century to the present. The course explores a diverse range of canonical, popular and forgotten texts, focussing on their relationship to key cultural concepts, including space, the body, consumption, the everyday and the materiality of the text. You will explore topics including visual texts, the development of popular genres, London as a site and inspiration for literary texts, the literature of food, women's autobiography, race and the body, and narratives of addiction. The unique organisation of the MA offers both range and depth and builds to an independent dissertation on any aspect of modern literature and culture.
