Discover a world of literature at York.
Research
Our research ranges across periods and around the globe.
We nurture an environment for collaboration, critical and creative thinking, interdisciplinary work and thought-provoking discussion.
Texts and narrative shape and change the world. Our commitment to understanding how literature reflects and makes the past, present and future is embedded within curiosity-driven modules and flexible degrees that are delivered by expert teachers, researchers and writers.
