Course summary

Studying English Literature gives you a unique lens through which to view our world. Simply put, we read every day. Aspects of our culture are encapsulated by English Literature. We learn about history, society, religion, and politics all through the pages of a really good book! We study American literature, Greek tragedies, crime fiction, and revolutionary poetry. When studying literature, we can extend our vocabulary while appreciating the beauty of the English language and how it can be used for specific and aesthetic purposes. Students follow the AQA English Literature B syllabus. This exciting and varied course covers a range of texts including novels, plays and poetry. The course aims to develop students into articulate, creative, and informed readers and there is an expectation that if you wish to study English Literature, you are an avid reader or willing to become one! We focus on ways of analysing structure, form and language in challenging literary texts which range from pre-1900 to modern writing.
