Do you enjoy reading, discussing what you have read, thinking about texts in different contexts and writing about your interpretations? English Literature offers you the opportunity to study in detail a range of texts taken from different time periods and across literary genres. You are encouraged to analyse texts from a variety of perspectives and to debate the meaning of texts in order to arrive at a real understanding of them. English Literature combines especially well with History, Politics and social sciences, though it also provides a useful balance to Science or Maths. As an A-Level student of English Literature, you will develop a range of highly academic skills, such as critical thinking and constructing arguments, which are regarded extremely highly by Universities and potential employers.
Grade 6 at both English Language and English Literature GCSE. 6 GCSEs at Grade 6 or higher, and at least a Grade 4 in English and Maths.
Paper 1: Love through the Ages: Shakespeare and Poetry (40% of A Level mark) Paper 2: Texts in Shared Contexts: Modern Literature from 1945 to the present day (40% of A Level mark) Paper 3: Independent Critical Study: Texts across Time (20% of A Level mark)
