ENGLISH LITERATURE AND FILM STUDIES B.A (Hons)
Literature and film continue to draw on and support each other, whether this is the adaptation of classics for the screen or the shared methods and approaches we use to analyse genre, identity, and style in films, television shows, plays, and novels. You will gain a deep understanding of the history of cinema and of literature, and we place emphasis on how creative texts in both forms relate to their social and cultural situations, whether this means understanding how writers have responded to contemporary concerns or how films have depicted race, class, and gender. Selecting from a range of modules covering literature and film from across different time periods and national cultures, you will develop advanced skills in analysis. You will have opportunities to draw on Keele’s wide strengths to study (for example) film music or documentaries; and you can specialise as you progress through the degree.
