At the graduate level the department offers a research MA and a PhD across a wide range of literary, cultural and theoretical studies. Library holdings for research are strong in the following areas: pre-1800 literature and culture including Elizabethan and Jacobean drama and poetry; seventeenth-century literature; eighteenth-century literature, in particular Swift and his milieu; American and Australian literature; nineteenth-century periodical and literary journalism; and bibliography and textual criticism. Staff research interests are diverse and cover all historical periods from Old English to the present, with particular strengths in pre-1800 literature, national literatures (American, Australian), genre studies (particularly drama), biography, women's studies, and bibliographical and textual criticism. For further information students should consult the Arts graduate studies handbook for 1997.
