Research

UCL English research appears in many forms, from newspaper reviews to scholarly monographs. There is expertise in just about every facet of this famously diverse and open-boundaried discipline, but our research is also focussed on four principal themes which form the strategic core of our collective thinking and the workshop events and talks that take place within the Department. These four themes are:

• The City
• Editions
• Life Stories
• Survey of English Usage

The English Department is also involved in the UCL Centre for Early Modern Exchanges, which explores all kinds of intercultural exchange in the period 1450-1800.
