A2 Level English Literature

UPDATED 20160229 09:53:11

Why study A2 English Literature? During this course you will engage with a wide range of texts and periods which will instil a lifelong interest in literature. What's on the course? Over the summer you will have read a range of texts from the recommended reading list which will prepare you for your challenging A2 coursework. You will ultimately produce a 3,000 word essay on three texts of different genres which are thematically linked. We will begin this module with ' The Handmaid's Tale' by Margaret Atwood and then continue with Chaucer's ' The Miller's Tale' and finally you will look closely at a third guided text of your choice. You will also be preparing for your summer exam by studying William Blake's 'Songs of Innocence and Experience' and comparing Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' with 'The Revenger's Tragedy'.
