At the heart of this diversity of approaches and interests, however, is a broad common commitment to cultural history and an understanding of the material we study in the context of historical cultural development. As a result, there is a special emphasis within the School upon interdisciplinarity. Cultural products in different media are studied in relation to one another - for example, the buildings of the Gothic Revival in relation to Gothic novels, antiquarian texts and medievalist paintings.

These include distinguished academics from abroad. Our MA programme in Criticism and Theory, which has been running since 1990, offers students the opportunity to develop their awareness of recent critical and theoretical debates as these have affected literary and other areas of cultural studies. The option modules apply the theoretical texts studied in the core modules to particular cultural examples, such as modernist or feminist fiction, or broader cultural studies, such as American commodity culture.
