What the college says

This exciting and diverse A Level course focuses on Tragedy, and Women and Society, and covers a wealth of poetry, prose and drama. This course allows the study of texts written over a very broad time period and encourages students to explore the relationships that exist between texts and the contexts within which they were written. The profound and emotive subject matter of these texts provides material for stimulating and meaningful discussion and study. It is hoped that students will develop an interest in and enjoyment of English Literature, through reading widely and experiencing an extensive range of critical material. Independent reading and study is essential in allowing students to contextualise the texts studied. Consequently, the A Level course encourages candidates to develop as informed, independent readers and critics of literary texts.
