English Literature with a Foundation Year

About this course

English literature is the disciplined study of writing in the English language across its history and geography, from the medieval to the contemporary, from the Anglo-Saxon to the postcolonial. At its best, studying literature develops close reading skills of unusual precision, the ability to construct and sustain a rigorous argument about contested questions of meaning and value, and a broad cultural and historical understanding of the worlds that writers have inhabited and shaped. It is a discipline that rewards curiosity, develops intellectual confidence, and produces graduates who can communicate with clarity and depth in almost any context. The University of East Anglia has one of the most distinguished reputations in English literary studies in the United Kingdom, built on a tradition of teaching that takes literature seriously as a practice as well as a body of knowledge.
