English Literature and Sociology

About this course

English literature and sociology is a combination that reads culture and society through two complementary lenses. English literature attends to the particular, to the specific choices of language, form and narrative that writers make, and to what those choices reveal about experience, identity and the human condition. Sociology steps back to examine the structural forces, class, gender, race, power, institutions and social change, that shape the world in which literature is produced and received and that appear, sometimes directly and sometimes obliquely, in literary texts. Reading the two disciplines alongside one another deepens your understanding of both. At Liverpool Hope University, this three-year full-time programme situates your studies in a city with a thriving cultural scene, literary festivals, independent bookshops and the renowned Central Library.
