That, and discussing literature with other students who share the same passion. Oh, and writing about it. Over the centuries, writers have produced some wonderful literature in English, and not just the Stratford Bard. Think of Dickens, Miller, Shelley, Austen, Eliot (both T.S. and George) and Thomas (Edward, Dylan and R.S.). Oh, and Wordsworth. And Steinbeck. And the Brontes. And.....The list seems infinite. It’s not just about dead authors either. There are many living writers who are inspirational in their writing. You’ll get a chance to examine why on this course. So, if you like reading, you like reading great literature and you like giving your opinions about it, this course is the one for you. The ability to communicate effectively is a skill that underpins all careers as well as all academic disciplines. Specifically, the course could lead to careers in the media, written and spoken, teaching, the film industry, marketing and sales, academia and research, printing.
