Overview

The English Literature (Hons) programme offered by Cardiff Metropolitan University explores world literatures and literatures from the UK, and investigate and contextualise literary movements from Romanticism to Modernism. You will also delve into writing that addresses the most pressing issues of our time, from ecology to politics, and cultural identity to feminism. Primarily through three discrete but overlapping approaches to reading literature – historical approaches, literary themes, and geopolitical questions – you will become familiar with writing from the fourteenth to the twenty-first centuries, always asking: How and why is this writing important? How does my world emerge out of this literature? Where am I in this literary world?
