Taught in collaboration with the British Library, explore early modern literary texts through critical lenses such as race, ethnicity, gender, class, sexuality, religion and nationality, and acquire bespoke tools to study neglected texts and 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. You'll discover alternative readings of canonical texts and take 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. You'll discover critical and historical approaches alongside in early modern manuscript and early print studies, as well as in editing and textual studies - stemming from the strong tradition of Shakespeare and early modern literary studies at King's and the world-leading expertise in the bibliographical make-up of early printed books and manuscripts at the British Library.
