The Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies (CLCS) research unit is a leading contributor to the fields of literary analysis and critical theory.
Our research focuses on significant historical movements in European philosophy from Kant to the romantics to figures in recent French, German and Italian critical theory. It brings this background in critical theory to bear on the study of the great literary canons.
Our output includes ground-breaking work in the field of aesthetics as well as work around the themes of utopia and dystopia, and the study of science fiction writing.
