English Literature

Course summary

English Literature is an exciting option for A Level which would suit those who are independent thinkers, engaged with the wider world and able to discuss literature and ideas through debate and analysis. The A Level is best enjoyed by those who are keen readers looking to develop their knowledge of plays, novels and poetry from all eras and many cultures. Equally it is an A Level suited to the politically minded and those interested in forging connections between their own experiences and how these are reflected in literature. It is an A Level that asks questions as opposed to looking for answers and we habitually examine texts in connection with other artistic mediums such as art, film and music. The A Level will suit those who wish to develop their writing style and those with an enquiring mind.
