Students will need a genuine interest in literature, secure writing skills, an open mind and a willingness to enter into debate and discussion. This course provides a thorough grounding in English Literature over the last four centuries, which is an excellent basis for further study or entry into a range of professions. Students will have opportunities to discuss literature within historical, social and cultural contexts. The course develops an understanding of the approaches and methods needed to analyse literary texts.
9-6 in English Lit and grade 5 in English Lang 9-4 in Maths
Across the two-year course, students will study a range of literature across all three genres (poetry, prose and drama) including three pre-1900 texts. There will be a strong emphasis on independent reading to give students a good grounding in tackling the unseen texts with which they will be presented in the exam. Students will also produce either one or two pieces of coursework (or non-examined assessments) on texts that they have chosen in their further and independent reading.
