English literature remains among the most popular subjects at A Level and beyond. The disciplines of advanced analytical reading and sophisticated response to the written word are universally recognized as challenging and intellectually stimulating. Our courses build on the skills and ideas developed in GCSE: reading for meaning, essay writing, analysis of language and understanding contexts. The courses offer an excellent foundation for higher education courses and cover a range of fascinating literary works. The specification encourages the exploration of texts in a number of different ways, the study of a literary theme over time. The study of literature through engaging with two of the main historicist perspectives, the diachronic (reading texts written across widely different time periods that explore the same theme) and synchronic (reading texts written within a narrower and clearly defined time period). The study of various texts, both singly and comparatively, chosen from a list of core set texts and a list of chosen comparative set texts. And writing about texts in a number of different ways.
