English Literature will encourage you to enjoy the literary canon and its infinite variety, through a study of the writers’ methods and the influence of the social, cultural and historical contexts in which texts were written. Students are expected and encouraged to read as widely as possible, and will be given opportunities to read and discuss texts creatively, rigorously and independently – even dramatically! Students will study a variety of texts, including prose, poetry and plays. These will be inclusive of literature from pre-1900 and post 2000.
