This master’s in Early Modern English Literature is uniquely taught in collaboration with the British Library. You’ll study early modern literary texts—published between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries—through contemporary critical lenses such as race, ethnicity, gender, class, sexuality, religion and nationality. And you’ll be given the tools to delve into archives independently and work with neglected texts to decide why they matter, what key questions they can answer about the early modern period and our own time, and how they should be edited and re-presented to modern readers. Throughout the Early Modern English Literature MA: Books That Matter, you’ll discover alternative readings of canonical texts and get the unique opportunity to learn not only how to re-read them from new theoretical perspectives but also how to explore the archives of the British Library, which houses the largest collections of early modern texts in the world.
