Reading and writing about literature
The craft that every question on this course rests on: reading language, form and structure closely, writing differently about poetry, prose and drama, using context to illuminate a text rather than decorate it, arguing with other readers' interpretations, and building an argument that holds up under exam timing. Topics: Close reading: language, imagery and voice, Form and structure as shaping devices, Writing about poetry, prose and drama, Using context to illuminate a text, Other readers, criticism and debate, Building an argument in a timed essay.
Love through the ages
A single theme read across a very wide span of time, examined in one three-hour paper: a Shakespeare play studied from memory, two unseen poems met for the first time in the exam, and a comparison between a poetry text and a prose text with the books open. Topics: Shakespeare: passage and linked essay, Unseen poetry, Comparing a poetry and a prose text, The territory of love through the ages.
Texts in shared contexts - Option 2A: WW1 and its aftermath
One of the two routes through the second paper. Topics: Reading the shared context of WW1 and its aftermath, Unseen extracts and contextual linking on the WW1 route.
Texts in shared contexts - Option 2B: Modern times: literature from 1945 to the present day
The other route through the second paper. Topics: Reading the shared context of Modern times, Unseen extracts and contextual linking on the Modern times route.
Independent critical study: texts across time
A single extended comparative essay on two texts the student chooses, one of them written before 1900, researched and written over months rather than in an exam room. Topics: Choosing texts and setting a question, Working with critical material, Sustaining a comparative argument across time, Academic writing, referencing and the word count.
