18th Century/Romanticism
A longstanding area of strength in both English and Scottish Literature. Both named Chairs, Profs Leask and Pittock, are renowned scholars within this period. There is expertise in all core areas of 18th Century literature, in poetry, in song, translation, the novel and periodicals. One significant theme is on colonial, post-colonial and diaspora studies, including literature and empire and travel writing. Research on Scottish literary studies and ‘four-nations’ romanticism is a particular strength, given that the School is host to the Centre for Robert Burns Studies and the AHRC-funded William Cullen Project, as well as the graduate-focused Scottish Romanticism Study Group (SRSG).
