The compulsory units are: Describing English Language, Second Language Acquisition, New Contexts for Language Learning.This MA is concerned with the use of linguistics as a methodology for the study of culture, through the critical interpretation of texts, verbal and non-verbal. Texts are drawn from various areas of contemporary culture, both literary and non-literary: examples are the press and media, photography, bureaucracy, music, religion, etc. In the autumn, the method of 'linguistic criticism' is studied; in the spring, the methods are extended to include semiotic and pragmatic theories. Compulsory units: Linguistic Criticism, Language and Society, Linguistics and Cultural Studies.This programme aims to explore some of the relationships between linguistics and literary studies; it introduces linguistic contributions to the theory of literature, and a range of descriptive models. One major objective is to promote skill in the practical analysis of texts using linguistic methods.

The compulsory units are: Linguistic Criticism, Stylistics, Linguistics and Cultural Studies.

Courses will be taught by Professor Richard Gray, who is an internationally renowned specialist in American literature. Two seminars, each lasting two hours, will be offered weekly. The basic structure of the course will take the form of detailed discussions of major writers from the United States and major literary groups and movements. Each major writer or movement will be studied for five weeks, so that over the year eight writers or movements will be considered. Attention will be paid to both 19th Century and 20th Century writers, and there will be a roughly equal concentration on poetry and prose. There will also be some engagement with issues and problems raised by any discussion of American literature, such as the question of what makes American writing distinctively American, the relation between regions and nation, the significance of race and gender, the impact of modernity and postmodernity, the influence of the media, and the connections between American writing and American culture.

This new flexible programme builds on the success of our established MA in Criticism and Theory. The programme provides a core of central methodological, critical and theoretical issues. You take two modules in Critical Theory, two in Research Methodology and two optional. You will be prepared to use the critical tools of contemporary literary and cultural analysis in written and oral presentation. You will be introduced to a body of texts dealing with the social organisation of power and the production of culture. You will be introduced to a range of contemporary debates concerning difference, discourse, embodiment, and subjectivity. You will read a number of important (and difficult) theoretical texts, marking a range of 'limit' positions: from Adornian critical theory, postcolonialism, through sexual difference theory, 'new' discourse theory and discursive hyper-constructivism. The core modules aim to raise for the students an awareness of a) interconnections between these apparently disparate arguments; b) a heightened appreciation and critique of the 'transparency' of the intellectual or cultural critic, and c) the ethics of criticism and theory.

This exciting new flexible programme builds on the success of our established MAs within the School of English. The programme provides a core of central methodological, critical and theoretical issues. You take two modules in Creative Writing, two in Research Methodology and two optional. The course aims to introduce students to the uses of a range of forms in contemporary poetry, alongside innovative approaches to writing practice. The course is designed for those committed to writing, who are willing to read extensively, and are prepared to be innovative with poetic form. It is designed for those who wish to develop their creative talent within the academic framework of critical response, and learn from contemporary texts. The course provides students with a stimulating environment in which existing writing skills can be developed to a professional standard, and a portfolio of writing be produced alongside critical writing. The main focus will be to establish intensive weekly writers' workshops, exploring your responses to aspects of form, and to explore your own work alongside the work of peers. Students will develop a positive awareness of themselves as practising writers in a wider context, and of the contemporary poetry scene and it major themes. The course aims to foster the notion of poetry as a radical vehicle of imaginative and personal expression, and to develop and sustain individual tone and voice within a range of forms. The course will explore recent radical innovations in form, and take a critical overview of poetry written in a variety of forms in English since 1960. The course will explore ideas of meta-structure, and textual architecture, and consider the way that textual arrangement enhances the work as a whole.

This new flexible programme builds on the success of our established MAs in Criticism and Theory and Cinema History and on the strength of the new Centre for Victorian Culture now established within the School. The programme provides a core of central methodological, critical and theoretical issues. The two modules 'Making Progress' and 'Empire and Decadence', though both free-standing, together comprise the 'Imagining the Victorians' pathway. The aim of the MA pathway is to locate the many and diverse products of Victorian culture in relation to the principal social, economic, and intellectual dynamics of the nineteenth century. Though focused on written texts, the MA includes the products of visual and three-dimensional culture as objects of study. As well as establishing a firm historical grounding for all materials considered, the MA will also develop readings of the Victorian period which engage with the cultural discourse of our own day: feminism, postcolonialism, cultural materialism, studies of gender and sexuality, and studies in class, race and ethnicity. The MA will encourage an understanding of the Victorian period as the birthplace of many of the debates about class, gender and race which characterise current scholarly theory and practice, and, more particularly, will place the metanarratives of Marx, Darwin, and Freud in their nineteenth-century contexts.

The Masters is a one year course taught over three terms. In the first and second terms students take two core seminars: 'Constructing the Period', which formally initiates them into the process of periodizing, historicizing and criticizing Romanticism as we know and question it; and 'Kinds of Writing/Kinds of Reading', which examines the main genres of the period and the various ways they were produced and consumed. Each term students also take two seminars on special subjects in the period. These have included: 'Romanticism and Romance', 'Coleridge and Wordsworth', 'Nationalism and Reading Publics', 'Constructing Scotland', and 'Romantic Orientalism'. In the third term students work with an adviser to prepare their final dissertation.

But in addition to attending the postgraduate seminar in research methods, students will be required to participate in the research seminars of the Wordsworth Centre and/or the Ruskin Programme which are devoted to the ongoing study of specific nineteenth century topics (e.g. the Literary Construction of the Lake District, Ruskin and Aesthetics: Modern Painters 1843-1993). But dissertation topics are not confined solely to these fields and we welcome applications related to any aspect of nineteenth century literature and culture, including Romanticism, the novel, literature and theology and the Gothic.

Your main energies will be directed towards the preparation of a dissertation. In addition, two taught courses are taken in subjects that are likely to serve your main research interest, since medievalists, especially, need to be proficient in several disciplines. This opportunity of receiving organised tuition in areas previously unexplored or in new skills needed for the efficient carrying out of your chosen research should prove a particularly attractive feature of the scheme. Although most of the ancillary taught courses are those which are also on offer to undergraduates, MA students will be assessed and examined quite separately, and the standard of achievement expected of them will be appropriately higher. On admission you will be assigned a supervisor who will be responsible for advising on the dissertation and the choice of courses.
