English Literature

Course summary

The English Literature course is the best possible course for developing your knowledge and enjoyment of a wide range of literary texts. You will learn a great deal about the wide variety of different authors, styles and genres, looking at much more detailed and interesting texts than at GCSE. Your writing skills, especially analytical and comparative, will increase enormously and this will help you with all other essay-based subjects. Unlike Language and Literature, the focus of this A Level is purely on literary texts.
