English Literature

Assessment

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.
