The MA in Book History and Publishing Culture is taught by specialists in the field and is closely linked to the renowned MA in Publishing. The core programme focuses on the theory and practice of authorship, textual production, dissemination and reception in the period 1870 to the present day. In addition, students will have the opportunity to take elective MA modules in Publishing, English and History, enabling the study of the interrelations between these disciplines. The programme is based in the Oxford International Centre for Publishing Studies, which is the oldest and one of the most innovative centres offering degree courses in publishing in Europe. Its worldwide reputation attracts a large number of international students. Oxford is an ideal location for students of book history as it is a major historical centre for publishing.
