Exploring English Literature will inspire creative thinking about language. You'll examine theories, evaluate both prose and poetry, and adopt a more discerning perspective on the signs and language we encounter daily. This discipline helps cultivate skills valued by employers, such as critical analysis, outstanding communication abilities, and understanding diverse cultural viewpoints.
At UOW, we approach English Literature through the lenses of style, theme, and structure, while also considering issues of race, gender, sexuality, class, and nationality. This program exposes you to diverse texts - from medieval to contemporary works - including novels, poems, essays, short stories, films, and personal writings, with an emphasis on global perspectives.
Our extensive curriculum offers specialized courses tailored to your interests, covering areas like literature and film, Romanticism, American literature, Victorian studies, Shakespearean works, and Indigenous writings.
