UPDATED 20161124 15:06:18

In this course you will study the works of some the world's greatest authors. You will study a wide range of novels, plays and poetry, from Chaucer to the present day. You will develop the ability to: • write in a sophisticated, formal way, using accurate expression; • express your ideas with clarity and force, using logical argument; • analyse the way that structure, form and language shape meaning in texts; • compare and make connections between texts; • take into account the views of others to help enrich your own points of view. If you enjoy reading and studying literary texts, this course should appeal to you. Those interested in history will particularly enjoy researching the periods in which texts were written and finding out how the context influenced the writers. Trips to the theatre and conference visits are also incorporated into the course where possible. This course provides a good intellectual training and ability to read thought-provoking, good quality texts, which will enrich your life whatever you decide to do in the future. It is also essential to study English Literature if you are intending to pursue this subject at university.
