English Literature

Course summary

You will study a number of texts, some of them in detail in class, some of them more independently. Many lessons will be spent discussing extracts from texts to help you develop a close knowledge and understanding of them. You will learn about the social and historical contexts in which these texts were written, and study a range of authors and genres, both modern and traditional, as well as some critical opinions of them. You will also learn how to write structured, organised, and thorough essays.
