What the college says

A love of reading independently, widely and critically is essential if you opt for this subject. Texts range across centuries, form, and genre. The enormous scope of the course is reflected in the main topics: ‘Love through the Ages’ and ‘The Aftermath of World War One’. Diverse indeed! Students are encouraged to become informed, independent readers of literary texts. You will research critics’ views on texts and gain an understanding of the way texts are constructed to shape readers’ understanding, as well as how to interpret them. Students of this rigorous, highly regarded academic subject sometimes think about Higher Education studies in Primary Teaching, Advertising and Marketing. English literature A Level.
