Research subject English-language Literature

The department’s literary research covers a broad range of topics, focused on literature from the renaissance to the present day.

Two points of departure shared by most department researchers are an inclination towards comparative methodologies and an interest in globally circulating English-language literatures. Within this framework, researchers in the department engage with more specific theoretical fields such as narratology, the sociology of literature, phenomenology, postcolonial theory, post-structuralism and rhetoric.
