Course summary

The study of literature is the study of humankind. If the history of sexuality, gender, religion vs the state and political thought is of interest to you, then English Literature A-level is for you. Moving on from the constrained GCSE course, studying literature at A-level grants you the freedom to explore texts from authors ranging from 1604-2019. The subject encourages curiosity: curiosity about different voices, different interpretations and different backgrounds on topics which affect us all. This is an interactive subject taught in discussion groups, where students’ own interpretations and contributions play a key role in their enjoyment of the course. By studying English Literature at A-level, you will consider your own opinions, debate others, and join a global discussion about the texts which have shaped and influenced thought for centuries.
