Goldsmiths - University of London

We are distinctive in the intellectual range of our teaching and research. Our main field of critical inquiry extends from Old English literature to twenty-first century literatures in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian. In our undergraduate and postgraduate linguistics courses we also study different varieties of English, the relationship between language, culture and society, media discourses and the linguistic construction of identity (see also our MA in Sociocultural Linguistics). Our earliest focus is on Classical literature and our latest on Creative Writing. In this new writing, our conspicuous strength springs from those staff and students who contribute directly to some of the literatures studied. We read the literatures of yesterday and today, and write literature for tomorrow.
