Program Overview
The English degree at Marjon University is an innovative and invigorating programme that takes a fresh look at literature and language, and introduces you to complex, powerful and engaging works.
In Year 1, your first module – Literature that Shook the World – engages with literarture at the centre of contemporary clashes and conflict, Aidan Thoma's young adult novel Cemetery Boys (a Latnix trans, queer, paranormal love story), Sam Selvon's Lonely Londoners (a balladesque telling of the Black immigrant experience), and Landays (a traditional Afghan poetic form often used by women). The module will also ask you to reconsider potentially problematic books from your childhood and what it means to deface and destroy works of art. Through all these stories and more, you will be asked to consider literature's role in the world.
The programme considers the classics and chronology of literature in English, even as it asks you to question why some books are considering classics and others are not. During it, you will explore boundary pushing forms of story, including adaptations, fanfiction, digital narratives, and flashfiction. In your third year, our dystopian fiction module – Discord, Disaster & Dreams – looks both at George Orwell’s influential and controversial Nineteen Eighty-Four, and powerful, complex novels such as N.K. Jemisin’s The Fifth Season.
On this BA, you develop your understanding of literature that encompasses both old and new, conventional and radical, the fringe and the mainstream. You develop a solid foundation from which to analyse and interpret literature, you write with precision and clarity, and debate with passion and conviction. This programme helps you grow intellectually and personally, cultivating knowledge as well as skills that you can take forward into further study or into employment.
