Reading, thinking and writing about great literature enables us to consider the wide variety of human experience as it is communicated by authors, and begin to engage with those experiences in an inquisitive, formal and disciplined manner. Students who study English Literature become better readers, writers and thinkers as a consequence of their studies, prepared to enter a variety of academic institutions and professional environments with the capacity to make the intelligent and thoughtful decisions that proceed from sound critical judgements.
