Classical Literature and English

About this course

Classical literature and English is a combination that places the literary traditions of ancient Greece and Rome alongside English literature from the medieval period to the present, asking you to understand the full sweep of the Western literary tradition from its origins. Classical literature gives you access to the works that have shaped European thought, storytelling, and poetic form for more than two millennia: Homer and Virgil, Sophocles and Seneca, Sappho and Ovid. English literature allows you to trace how those traditions were received, transformed, and reimagined across the centuries, from the Renaissance engagement with the classics through to contemporary writers who continue to find in ancient stories the terms for understanding modern experience. At the University of Leeds, this three-year full-time programme includes a sandwich year, a year abroad, and work placement oppo
