This is a reader’s course! It will give students the opportunity to read, study, and respond to a wide range of literature: novels, short stories, drama texts, and poetry. These will be drawn from a wide range of English Literature texts: from medieval poetry to the modern novel. The aim will be to allow students to develop an understanding of a wide range of texts from within and outside the literary canon and also from other cultures and time periods. The coursework unit will allow students to explore their own choice of literary texts pursuing their own area of focus following students’ own reading interests. The staff’s approach will aim to stimulate creativity and thought through group discussions, small group work, whole-class teaching, and individual tuition to allow students to develop an analytical and sensitive response that is rooted in a detailed reading of the text. Unit 1: Love Through the Ages Unit 2: Texts in Shared Contexts: Modern Times: Literature from 1945 to the present day Non-Examined Assessment Unit: Independent Critical Study (Coursework)
