A level Literature is a course for students who love reading and wish to develop their intellectual appreciation of the written word. Students study under four component headings: Poetry, Drama, Unseen Texts, and Prose. In Poetry, students will study Duffy's Mean Time, comparing it with Larkin's Whitsun Weddings. John Donne's poetry provides students with the exciting challenge of understanding metaphysical poetry. In Drama, Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire. In Unseen Texts, students are taught to strengthen their ability to analyse texts independently, as they explore previously unseen extracts of both prose and poetry.
GCSE Grade 6 - 9 in English Literature Five GCSEs Grade 9-5, including Maths and English
Whilst the first three components are assessed through examinations, the final component - the Independent Prose Study - allows students to select two of their own texts to explore (one pre-2000 and one post-2000). Supported by their expert coursework supervisor, they will design and respond to their own question, in an assignment that echoes the dissertation module of undergraduate study. The most important qualities a student will have is a genuine enjoyment of literature - a love of reading novels and poetry and watching and performing plays - and a wish to think about it, be moved by it and to discuss it. Students are encouraged to visit the theatre often and to seize every opportunity to see or hear a writer talking about his/her craft.
