The overall aim of the course is to encourage your interest and enjoyment of literature and literary studies. Studying English Literature will help you develop sharp analytical skills, the ability to construct and deconstruct arguments, and empathy for others. You will be expected to read a wide range of set texts and independently chosen texts. You will engage creatively and analytically with these texts, developing your knowledge of literary analysis and evaluation. You will learn to express complex ideas concisely and cogently, and accurately employ a wide range of reading skills. You will also learn to use other people’s readings of texts to inform your own and consider how the context in which a text is written may shape its meaning.
