English Literature - University of Kent

English at Kent is challenging, flexible and wide-ranging. It covers both traditional areas (such as Chaucer, Shakespeare and Dickens) as well as newer fields, such as contemporary literature, creative writing and recent developments in literary theory. You have the opportunity to spend up to a year studying abroad in either America, Europe or Hong Kong. Staff in the School of English are internationally recognised for academic research which links closely with undergraduate teaching, and the School regularly hosts visits by a variety of international writers and critics. The School has a thriving academic community with several well-regarded specialist research centres and a dedicated undergraduate common room.
