Childrens Literature

This taught master's programme in children’s literature encompasses everything from picture-books through to Young Adult fiction and runs on a full-time (one year) or part-time (two years) basis. It examines the complexities of children’s texts; explores multiple genres, readerships, publishing trends and modes of criticism; pays particular attention to issues of diversity and inclusion; and covers a huge body of English-language literature from around the world, from four-hundred-year-old texts to the latest publications. This is a wonderful opportunity to spend a whole year (or two!) reading, researching, and debating children’s literature at Trinity College, right in the heart of Dublin, a UNESCO City of Literature.
