English Literature GCE AS Level

UPDATED 20151015 10:32:02

A Level English Literature is a challenging course that builds on the skills acquired while studying for GCSE English Literature. Students will develop their interest in and enjoyment of literature through reading widely, critically and independently, across centuries, genre, gender, race, and through experience of an extensive range of views about texts and how to read them. You will explore connections and comparisons between texts, as well as considering the significance and influence of the contexts in which they were written and received.
