Contemporary Literature (MA)
Our MA in Contemporary Literature encourages you to discover some exciting new authors, as well as exploring new approaches to contemporary writing and theory. Contemporary literature is full of innovation, diversity and creativity and we explore this exciting field through a huge range of forms and genres. The texts and topics you study will reflect the most pressing debates informing writers and critics today.
Learn about the complex relationships between texts, theory and contemporary debate. You will study everything from novels and poetry to memoirs and creative non-fiction, engaging with British, American and postcolonial contemporary writing.
York is a great place for book lovers. We take part in York Literature Festival every year – an event which has hosted Margaret Atwood, Michel Faber and many other famous literary names. Workshops, writing sessions and readings are as central to your learning as lectures and seminars.
