This course is aimed at students with an interest in the period 1770-1830 who wish to explore in more detail than is possible at undergraduate level the literary migration of ideas and texts at that time, especially across western Europe. 

This MA is unique in that it offers such a wide range of modern languages modules, and is currently the only UK-based MA to emphasize European Romantic writing both in translation and the original language.  For this reason, a reading knowledge of one of French, German or Italian is desirable, although not necessary for successful completion of the course.  Students will be based in the Department of English and Comparative Literary Studies but will be required to take at least one of their modules from another department. 

This is a taught MA with a significant research component in the form of a compulsory dissertation, and so may be especially suited to students who are interested in pursuing PhD work in the field of comparative literatures.  All tutors on the MA would welcome interested and suitably qualified students to follow their MA with PhD study at the University of Warwick.
