早期现代英国文学：重要典籍 MA Early Modern English Literature: Books That Matter

This MA, delivered in exclusive partnership with the British Library, focuses on the transmission of key early modern literary texts from the reign of Henry VIII through the Restoration. Students investigate the circulation of texts in manuscript and print, learn to read early modern handwriting, transcribe neglected manuscripts and rare printed texts, and edit them for modern readers. The programme explores how the materiality of the text and its conditions of (re)production affect interpretation, combining traditional literary approaches with book history and palaeography.
