The study of English Literature will help you become a more perceptive, critical, and interesting person. You will read texts that challenge your understanding of the world around you; you will work as part of a group, discussing and arguing your opinion on a range of topics; and you will establish an understanding and appreciation of different cultures and time periods throughout history.
Having read the complete works of Dickens, Shakespeare, and Hardy is not a prerequisite for success at English Literature A Level (although it would help!). Instead, we are looking for hardworking and intellectually curious students who bring enthusiasm to class discussion and a willingness to challenge the world around them. If you are not particularly well-read at the start of the course, then you certainly will be by the end of it!
