    • MA in 18th-Century Studies

    The MA in Eighteenth-Century Studies at the University of Southampton is an interdisciplinary programme for which the collections at Chawton House Library provide a key resource. Women's writing in Britain in the long eighteenth century is one focus, but the MA allows students also to specialise in the history and the visual and material culture of the period.

    Students are introduced to the literary, political, philosophical and cultural issues of eighteenth-century Britain through options that explore the rise of the novel, gender and the social order, race and empire, the consumer revolution, modernity, and analyses of art, taste, gender, and politeness. The MA encourages students to work across disciplines and to use archival sources.

    The course can be studied over 12 months full-time or 26 months part-time, beginning early October.

    For further information (including course outlines and staff interests) please contact Dr Stephen Bygrave at the University of Southampton or visit the The Eighteenth-Century Studies webpage.
