Introduction
Language powers literature and is fundamental to everything we do: it helps us communicate ideas, express our feelings, persuade, and present ourselves to different audiences. English Language and Linguistics is therefore an ideal complement to literature, where an understanding of how language works is important.
Within the English and American Literature element of your degree, you study traditional areas (such as Shakespeare or Dickens) and examine American works, for a broader perspective on English-language literature. You can also explore creative writing and recent developments in literary theory. These studies, combined with English Language and Linguistics, give you a powerful insight into the workings of literature, the mechanics of language, and its cultural impact.
