Studying English Literature is more than just an opportunity to indulge your love of reading and discussing books. It develops your critical, analytical and research skills, which are vital whatever you plan to study at university. It also offers a chance to develop your own writing and produce original work - another extremely useful preparation for Higher Education. English Literature is accepted for a wide range of university courses. Students have gone on to study English and American literature, train as primary and secondary school teachers, and pursue careers in publishing, journalism and creative writing. You will study texts drawn from the three main types of literature - prose, poetry and drama. For prose, you will study two novels and compare the ways in which they present a theme. For poetry you will study an anthology of 21st century poems, and a further anthology based on a particular poet or movement. You will also learn how to analyse unseen poetry and compare it to poetry you already know. For drama you will study a Shakespeare play and a further, more modern, play and will learn how to discuss their treatment of a theme or message. For coursework, you will synthesise these skills and compare two texts of your choice from a selection, learning how to research, plan and write an extended study.
