Location of Lancaster University
This MA programme is particularly concerned with exploring the Romantic/Victorian interface. The scheme will allow students to maintain their interest in these two key periods of English literature by moving across them rather than being restricted by rigid boundaries. The course is intended to encourage students to make connections and comparisons and to approach literature through a range of genres and forms (poetic, dramatic, novelistic, historical, theoretical, filmic). We will make full use of the university’s regional location, with one module involving a “field trip” to the Lakes.
The course involves a 4+1 modular structure (four choices and a compulsory Research Methods module which is assessed) as well as a dissertation of 15,000 words on a topic agreed with a supervisor.
Full time students, for whom the course usually lasts twelve months, will usually take two units in each of the first two terms, as well as the Research Methodology module (which runs across two terms). Students are then free to undertake supervised research for their dissertation over the summer.
Part-time students, for whom the course lasts twenty-four months, will usually take one unit in each term of the first year as well as the Research Methodology, and one module in the first two terms of the second year, before writing their dissertation. The teaching of each unit will normally take the form of a two-hour seminar for each of the ten weeks of term.
Contents
Research Methodology (compulsory) The research methodology module is intended for all MA students and for new first year PhD student who have not taken an MA at Lancaster. It will run across all three terms, fortnightly, and is designed in accordance with AHRC research training requirements.
The module will include generic sessions on research skills; archival sessions; sessions which address key theoretical questions and positions. Assessment is by tasks related to these sessions. The term by term structure culminates in a final conference for the students at which they each give a paper. Trips and the student conference will be funded by AHRC training money.
