Name: English Literature A Level Qualification title: - Qualification type: GCE A/AS Level or equivalent Assessment The first exam is 2 hours 30 minutes. It is closed book and worth 40% of the total marks. In Section A you respond to a Shakespeare text (currently The Tempest). The first part of the question asks you to analyse a given extract from the play; you will need to analyse effects of Shakespeare's choices of language, structure and form. The second part of the question focuses on the whole play; you will need to respond to a given view of the play. In Section B you will have to answer 1 question from a choice of 6 - all questions give a view on literature - you need to respond to the view by comparing the two texts studied (one poetry text and one play written pre-1900 - currently Christina Rossetti's poetry and Henrik Ibsen's 'A Doll's House'). The second exam is 2 hours 30 minutes. It is closed book and worth 40% of the total marks.

For the second task you will have choice of three questions; you will need to compare the two studied novels in response to a view on the Gothic. We currently study Bram Stoker's Dracula and Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber for this unit. There are two coursework tasks worth 20% of the total marks. The first task is a written analysis of a poem (focusing on language, structure and form). The second task is a thematic comparative essay of a play and a prose text.
