What the college says

English Literature teaches you to become an expert reader. You will learn to study texts closely, analysing their construction and the effect they have on the reader. As well as studying how the text functions as a piece of writing, you will also study the historical background of the texts and their relationship to the society the author lived in. You will learn to place texts within a tradition, whether a formal tradition, historical or thematic tradition and you will also learn to apply critical models, known as literary theory, to the text that you’re studying. Students must be mature, independent readers who are willing to engage with texts from other times and cultures. They should enjoy reading for study and for pleasure.
