What the college says
Literature teaches us all about the human experience; it is a fascinating way in which to learn about how we connect with others and how we are influenced by the world around us. Literature acts as a way of opening doors into worlds that we may never visit otherwise and also opens our eyes to the lived experiences of others. Through the study of literature, you are encouraged to be critical; to read deeply for meaning; to consider texts as a product of their time and to learn about the contextual influences on authors; to question the world around you and to make connections.
