@humbleetc @profdanhicks Yes, it is a rotation. Austen is of course still being taught

[Barry Murnane @MurnaneBarry]

This is an absolute scandal @StirUni. @GothImagination was, is, and remains a programme producing world leading research paradigms in C18th, Romanticism, Modernism, Postcolonial, and Comp Literary Studies. I urge @StirUni authorities to reconsider this shortsighted decision.

#MyGothMLitt I left a 'career' with all sorts of stability and security in order to study this course, and I don't think I could have made a better decision. It has CHANGED my life and quite possibly saved it too. #SaveGothicImagination

If @GerryMcCormac could see my social media feeds today he’d understand how detrimental it would be to @StirUni to cut the MLitt in the Gothic Imagination. So many tweets, FB shares, comments, words of solidarity & support that I can’t keep up. Our community is so vibrant! 💕

Stirling Uni is cancelling the MLitt in The Gothic Imagination.

This is a huge shame @StirUni the Gothic Imagination masters is wonderful

A dark day for dark subjects. If you believe that universities should be driven by ideas rather than economics, and that students should be able to study the subjects that inspire them, then you should consider the link below: https://t.co/RCbjrgpvm9

Ayesha wanted this to be shared

[Angela Wright @AngelaW49888140]

I was the external on this programme over a decade ago. It produced amazing work, and is the first programme of its kind in the field.

[Mary Going @MazGoing]

In this monstrous timeline, surely we need *more* Gothic studies, not less?

[International Gothic Association @IGA_Goths]

The University of Stirling is planning to cut its highly successful & internationally recognised MA in Gothic studies - the 1st of its kind! If you can, please help save Gothic Imagination by sending an email & signal boosting!
