“Literature…is a way of making human life bearable.”– Kurt Vonnnegut. From Shakespeare to Saramago, Milton to Margaret Atwood, from John Donne to James Joyce, writers have used fiction, poetry and drama to explore the complexity and depth of the human experience. Investigating love, conflict, family, death, race, gender, politics and more, writers use language at its most profound and beautiful to help us think more deeply about ourselves and others. If you enjoy literature in all forms, if you want to explore the drama of what makes us human, and if you enjoy language, English Literature is a fantastic choice at A Level.
Candidates will need to have attained 6 grades in English Literature and English Language at GCSE in order to take this option. Students will benefit from having studied other subjects in the humanities.
The course is assessed via two examination papers worth 80% of the total and two coursework essays worth 20%.
