Students will study texts from a range of historical periods and the modern day. The study of literature at A Level encourages students to broaden and deepen their understanding of the world around them and to consider the relevance of fiction in a range of contexts. Developing knowledge of how writers write and how readers might respond through a range of literary, political and social lens’ is central to the course, as is the study of two fascinating genres; tragedy and crime writing. There is also the opportunity to read widely to select texts for a personal study (NEA).
