This degree, taught jointly with UEA's world-renowned teachers of English literature, allows you to combine the study of literature with the study of its social and political context. Literature and contemporary culture are not, and have never been, merely sources of entertainment and decoration. From Shakespeare to Salman Rushdie, literature has played a powerful part within society. It has been censored and sponsored, used as propaganda and for protest. This programme gives you the opportunity to study in detail and in depth the ways in which society and its forms of expression are linked.
