English Literature will give you the opportunity to explore texts across time and develop your skills of interpretation and analysis. It naturally complements other Arts and Humanities subjects and is particularly suited to students wishing to pursue careers in the arts, the media, business, education, law or any other field in which communication and analytical skills are important. You will study a range of texts from across time which will give you the opportunity to see how texts and styles have changed across time. You will look at a Shakespeare play, a collection of poetry and a prose text. You will also learn how to respond to unseen poetry. You will explore a specific period of time in detail, looking at how contextual features have informed and inspired texts of different types. You will study a poetry, prose and drama text, one of which will have been written post-2000. Options for study include: World War I and its aftermath or Modern times: Literature from 1945 to the present day. Non-examined component: Independent critical study: Texts across time Coursework will allow you to explore texts independently and you are encouraged to pick topics and texts that you find interesting. You will have to write a comparative essay about two texts you have studied.
