This pathway of the MA Literary Studies aims to enhance your knowledge and understanding of the literature that has sought to define or has emerged from ‘America’.
The legacies of settler colonialism; racialised inequality and violence; the social impacts of capitalism and industrialisation, urbanisation and technology; environmental catastrophe: these are the urgent issues facing America now, but which have been pre-occupying American literature since at least the nineteenth century.
The project of democracy continues to be fraught, the notion of a common and coherent national identity and history continues to be contested, and American literature continues to find new ways and forms to offer social critiques, to express alternative social possibilities, and to reveal the many different “Americas” that belie the idea of nation. It is this literary scrutiny that energises the pathway in American literature and culture.
