早期现代英国文学：文本与传播

Taught in collaboration with the British Library, explore early modern
literary texts through critical lenses such as race, ethnicity, gender,
class, sexuality, religion and nationality, and acquire bespoke tools to
study neglected texts and to decide why they matter, what key questions
they can answer about the early modern period and our own time, and how
they should be edited and re-presented to modern readers.

You'll discover alternative readings of canonical texts and take the
unique opportunity to learn not only how to re-read them from new
theoretical perspectives, but also how to explore the archives of the
British Library, which houses the largest collections of early modern
texts in the world.

You'll discover critical and historical approaches alongside in early
modern manuscript and early print studies, as well as in editing and
textual studies - stemming from the strong tradition of Shakespeare and
early modern literary studies at King's and the world-leading expertise
in the bibliographical make-up of early printed books and manuscripts at
the British Library.
