GCE A Level in English Literature
at City of Stoke-On-Trent Sixth Form College · sixth form college
What the college says
English Literature is an opening up of the world. Literature, like all art, seeks to express something of the human experience of life. It is a means of finding out, for a moment, what it would be like to be someone else. Empathy is key. It is a way of transcending time and space: what would it be like to someone else, somewhere else, sometime else. If you are ready to explore the big issues of life – love, death, God, meaning, relationships – then you are ready for English Literature
