English Literature is enormous fun but it is not a soft option. You will be required to read extensively and to provide analysis of the ideas and structures of texts. If you enjoy reading and thinking for yourself, expressing your ideas both orally and on paper, this is the course for you.The syllabus covers 3 modules for AS:
1.Drama and poetry: you will study one play from an approved list and, where possible, we will see the play in production. You will study a range of poems written from 1770 to the present day.
2.Pre-1900 prose: you will study one nineteenth century novel from an approved list, considering the context in which it was written
3.Shakespeare in context: you will study one Shakespeare play and produce a coursework folder of approximately 1,500 words.
There are opportunities to take examinations in January and June. Module 1 is assessed by an open text examination. Module 2 is assessed by a closed text examination. Module 3 is assessed by coursework.
