Welcome

Royal Holloway welcomes you to one of the most dynamic English Departments in the country. We pride ourselves on being a world-renowned centre of excellence for teaching and research. We are home to poets Sir Andrew Motion, former Poet Laureate, and Jo Shapcott, Costa Book of the Year Winner 2011 and Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry 2011, as well as distinguished academics who lead in their fields. Together we forge a unique and privileged experience for our students. Our research shapes the developing critical understanding of English Literature world-wide and we draw our students into the forefront of challenging debate in the discipline.
