English Literature continues to be a very strong and popular subject at A Level. Throughout history the great obsessions of humankind have been explored in the form of literature. Issues of love, death and the meaning of life are ingrained in the very fabric of the novels, poems and plays featured on this course. Students study texts representing a range of periods, from the renaissance to the 20th century, and learn the value of critical and analytical approaches. Discussion is central to the course, as is the development of distinctive and thoughtful responses to text. Students need to have an enthusiasm for language and creativity in every form, and willingness to debate.
