Course summary

You need to love reading! If, at GCSE, you have enjoyed analysing texts, investigating characters and themes, forming opinions, and presenting and defending your interpretations maybe against those with completely different points of view then you will thrive on this course. You will study texts from the literary “canon”: texts that have shaped our understanding of the world we live in today. Moreover, you will engage with some of the most loved and loathed characters from literary texts across a range of periods and genres: from the romantic Jay Gatsby to the loathsome Iago.
