They will consider writers’ literary techniques, their methods and possible intentions. Evaluative discussion is fostered and links between texts and contextual factors are explored. The course consists of four units at A-level, covering eight texts in total. A diverse collection of poetry and prose will also be used to develop the skills of practical criticism.
