MA/MS in Literature Today

This programme examines how literature functions within a globalised, digitalised and commercialised world, training students to identify and critically evaluate recent national and international literary developments and place them in historical perspective. It addresses how literary quality can be judged in a time of growing commercialisation, how published work moves through the market as part of an industry built on centuries-old tradition, and how academic insight into literature can be passed on to a general readership. Students choose from five tracks: English and Comparative Literature, Dutch Literature, French Literature, German Literature, and Hispanic Literature.
