Research Groups

Our group includes a wide range of research interests, with established research strengths in modernist literature and culture, twentieth century and contemporary poetry and prose, and critical theory.

Our group is home to a vibrant and diverse array of research across the periods, connected by the themes of humanism, archives and the history of the book, and cross-cultural connections.

Our group encompasses a wide range of different research specialisms and methodologies, including our renowned work on Romanticism and post-Romanticism, gothic literature, Victorian fiction, nineteenth-century poetry and nineteenth-century life writing.

Our group meets, co-ordinates, and promotes research activities in literary translation, bringing together academics and students from across our Faculty and focused on the British Centre for Literary Translation.

Each piece of creative writing emerging from our school constitutes a research project informed by historical investigation, archival study or critical interrogation.

Our group comprises academics and writers interested in all aspects of the relation between critical and creative practice.
