English Literature is a subject that involves the intellect, the imagination and the emotions. It develops skills of analysis and empathy that can be applied in a variety of situations and which are much valued by universities and employers. It encourages the close reading of texts and the ability to articulate ideas both orally and in writing. It will give you an insight into human behaviour and extend your linguistic horizons.
