English Literature
AS/A2 Level - Two-year course
English Literature is a course that will appeal to those who really enjoy reading, discussing and writing about literature.
Students will be encouraged to read a wide range of texts across all three genres: poetry, drama and fiction - from Chaucer to the present day.
They will be encouraged to examine the historical and social context in which the texts were produced and to see that there are different ways of reading them. Theatre visits are an integral part of the course.
There is a coursework component in each year. In year one (AS) study units include one of Victorian Literature, World War One Literature or The Struggle for Identity.
In year two (A2) study units include literature on the theme of 'Love Through the Ages' and comparison of a Shakespeare play with two texts by other writers.
