English Literature and British Cultural Studies

Research and teaching at the chair of English Literature and British Cultural Studies (Lehrstuhl für Englische Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft) explore the literatures and cultures of the British Isles as well as the history and ongoing repercussions of British influence around the globe.
