The study of English Literature at AS and A level is all about exploring different genres of writing, the ways of telling a story and possible interpretations and meanings of texts. English Literature is all about relationships, love, sex, jealousy, ambition, power, corruption, confl ict, violence, vice, horror and adventure. You will explore and analyse a range of novels, plays and poetry to discover what has interested writers in different centuries; how writers use form, structure and language to tell stories and shape meaning; and the signifi cance of their works, both when they were written and for later readers and audiences.
