What the college says

English Literature offers an opportunity like no other A Level: the chance to explore the lives, narratives and worlds of others. Through reading some of the greatest works of the literary imagination, you will dive into strange and unique worlds, vicariously live lives that you never dreamed possible and experience the joys and struggles of your fellow man. Through analysing the literary canon, you will develop close analysis skills and your own unique interpretations of texts. You will cultivate a love of language and the writer’s craft. In classroom debates and critical discussion, you will be challenged to voice your own opinions and your critical imagination will flourish. Please contact Backwell School to discuss this course information in more detail.
