English Literature

Course summary

The course broadens the experience of literature in English that pupils have had at GCSE and develops their critical sense and analytical response to the texts that they study during the course. The range of literature studied in the course broadens pupils’ cultural experience, covering a time span from the Renaissance to the 21st century. While broadening their critical response to texts, pupils will also develop the ways in which they express themselves and articulate their ideas with an increasing degree of sophistication.
