A Level in English Literature

UPDATED 20161017 13:31:26

Students need the right approach to find the study of English Literature both enjoyable and fulfilling. They should be fond of reading, prepared to do so independently and ready to tackle some of the most influential and challenging pieces of literature. They will already have shown their ability to write fluent, accurate English by achieving at least a B Grade at GCSE in both English Language and English Literature. It profits students of English Literature to have an interest in other art forms, especially the theatre, together with imagination and a sense of literary style. The study of English Literature complements many other subjects, particularly those where essay writing skills are a strong feature. It fosters a broad knowledge of the cultural and historical contexts of texts, as well as an openness to different ways of reading and understanding them. It sits well with History, Geography, Philosophy, Modern Languages, Classics, Art and Music. Other combinations are also possible. You can take English with Mathematics, for instance, though you should be clear in your mind about which groupings are both helpful and sensible.
