Course summary

A Level English Literature introduces you to some of the most enjoyable, inspiring and challenging writing from the late 1300s to the present day. The course ranges widely across and beyond the traditional canon, whilst sharpening your skills in analysing how writers shape their ideas. You are encouraged to make connections between the texts you study and to explore them within their intellectual, cultural, social and historical contexts. The subject is highly valued by universities and employers for the skills it fosters in thinking critically, reading sensitively, approaching problems creatively, evaluating others’ views perceptively, and expressing arguments concisely and persuasively. We follow the OCR specification.
