'Femme a la lorgnette', by Edgar Degas (detail, 1865)

Areas of Postgraduate Research

The Division's postgraduates are involved in a very wide range of fields, from studies of canonical authors such as Shakespeare and Yeats; to historically specific topics such as late Victorian occultism, the staging of legal authority in Caroline drama, or the construction of the eighteenth-century Gothic heroine; to topics informed by cultural and theoretical perspectives, such as postcolonial readings of modern Irish and Indian writing, the representation of education in the modern Scottish novel, or the discourse analysis of 'slasher fiction' and reading groups; to critical re-assessments of twentieth-century writers such as Graham Swift, Neil M Gunn and Stephen King.

'Goblin Market', by Christina Rosetti (1862)
