What the college says

English Literature is the ideal subject for those who have a passion for reading and a lively, articulable interest in contemporary and historical ideas and debates. Literature students will explore themes and concepts that have fascinated writers from Shakespeare to the present day. Students study a diverse range of texts, including: Pre- and post-1900 poetry Shakespeare Pre- and post-1900 prose Post-1900 drama Literary criticism The course covers three components: two external examinations, and one internally-assessed coursework unit.
