A Level Module 1: Love through the Ages This module is studied in the first year of the A Level and assessed through AS examinations. If students continue onto the second year of the course, they will revisit this topic. Module 2: Texts in Shared Contexts; Modern Times The aim of this topic area is to encourage students to explore aspects of literature connected through a period of time. Students will study literature from the end of WW2 and explore both modern and contemporary literature’s engagement with some of the social, political, personal and literary issues which have helped to shape the latter half of the 20th century and the early decades of the 21st century.
