Overview
Notre Dame provides undergraduate and graduate students with outstanding opportunities for engaging the challenges of nineteenth-century British studies, which increasingly cross national, historical, geopolitical and disciplinary boundaries; reach back into the eighteenth and forward to the twentieth centuries; explore class, gender, racial and ethnic identities; and engage science, religion, psychology, history, economics, and politics.
With faculty guidance and considerable institutional resources—library collections, travel support, and grant opportunities—students engage the latest topics, methods and approaches in nineteenth-century British studies.
Each year a graduate student serves as managing editor of Nineteenth-Century Contexts, a major journal in the field that is edited by Greg Kucich. The scholarly edition of the writings of Thomas Carlyle is headquartered at Notre Dame under the general editorship of Chris R. Vanden Bossche. Graduate students recently organized Forms of Empire, a conference that hosted scholars from major research centers across the country.
Nineteenth-century studies are complemented by Notre Dame’s strengths in areas including Irish Studies, History of Science, American literature, and faculty working in eighteenth- and early twentieth-century British literature.
