Overview
English Literature and Drama both explore how characters, stories, and forms of expression allow us to reflect on ourselves and imagine new worlds. Working between language, imagery, and imagination, these powerful artforms tell us about our history, and give us the tools to explore who we are, and who we could be. This BA English Literature and Drama with a Placement Year degree offers you the opportunity to study in two brilliant departments, learning from researchers, writers, artists, and literary critics. You’ll learn about writing and criticism across prose, poetry, and drama, and how to bring texts to life in performance. You’ll encounter literature from across centuries and genres, from ancient epics to modern experimentation, and from medieval quests to contemporary fiction. You’ll explore theatre practices from around the world, on the page, on the stage, and on screen. You’ll learn the art and craft of acting, theatre-making, writing, and production.
