What the college says

“I study English because I love how a work of literature exposes the people and the time in which it was written” - (Harriet Bury Year 13) “My task, which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel--it is, before all, to make you see.” ― Joseph Conrad For this reason, English Literature A level has for some time been considered the gold standard among universities: they recognise how critical thinking skills, independent thought and personal response through the deconstruction of texts are crucial to core academic disciplines. English Literature has the power to inspire and transform, excite and disturb, absorb and enrich. Or as Scott Fitzgerald put it: “That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.”
