Welcome to the Centre for Studies in Literature (CSL) at the University of Portsmouth. The Centre promotes research and provides a framework for research excellence in the broad area of literary studies and associated disciplines.

The CSL brings together scholars from different fields within literary studies. Our areas of special interest are Early Modern Writing; Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture; Twentieth and Twenty-First Century British and American Literature; Nation, Identity and the Postcolonial. Members of the Centre also have interests in related fields within film studies, cultural studies and American studies, and we maintain strong links with two other research centres at Portsmouth: the Centre for European and International Studies Research (CEISR) and the Centre for Film and Media.

We welcome proposals for PhD projects in any of the above areas. Please see Research Areas and individual member pages for more detailed information about the work we do. Bursaries and scholarships are available.
