Course Summary

If you love reading and analysing a range of literary texts, A Level English Literature is for you. You’ll be taken on a literary journey through history, examining writing from the Middle Ages to the Elizabethan period, from a Victorian novel to texts written in the 21st century. You’ll explore connections across these literary works, examining the contexts in which they were written and responding critically and creatively to their themes and ideas. A ‘facilitating’ subject, favoured by universities for a range of degree courses, English Literature is an important choice for careers in journalism, teaching, public relations, publishing, law and more.
