The English Department at NYU explores and instructs in English-language literature across all eras and regions. As a sizable academic unit, we're recognized for our expansive perspective on the field, considering literature to encompass all forms of written media. Our approach examines how texts are created, replicated, distributed, and interpreted, including the systems of categorization and concepts of appreciation applied to them. We utilize and teach various scholarly approaches such as detailed textual analysis, cultural examination, historical and archival investigation, literary and media theories, book history, and digital humanities methodologies.
