Course summary

English Literature is a popular and challenging subject. It seeks to develop effective communication skills, independent thinking, an analytical approach and encourages a sensitive and humane outlook. Students are required to read texts in a variety of ways and respond critically and creatively; identify and consider how attitudes and values are expressed in texts and draw on their understanding of different interpretations when responding to texts. We study a range of different texts from the genres of poetry, prose and drama.
