Research in pre- and early modern literature is a prominent field within Literary Studies at the Department of Culture and Aesthetics.

Several of the department’s researchers contribute to a renewal of European literary history and they engage for example in the history of subjectivity as well as the history of emotions, early modern ecologies, the history of gender, historiography, the literary history of writing from a media historical perspective, genre history and premodern fiction theory.
