Education
English and American Literature
-
The writers of Britain and America are of course deeply connected: often they employ the same language, address the same readers, share the same cultural reference points. But at the same time, the two traditions differ sharply in their typical values and tones of voice. The School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing brings together writers, scholars, performers, teachers and students in an exploration of the powers and possibilities of literature. The School of American Studies brings together world-leading expertise in the visual arts, in film, television and media studies and in the literature, history, and culture of the United States, and the Atlantic and Pacific worlds.
The School of American Studies is ranked 1st in the 2015 Guardian University Guide and 6th in the 2015 Complete University Guide for American Studies. The School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia has a long-established international reputation in literary studies.
