Plays like Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear are common, and they provide interesting themes (as Shakespeare was known for) like power, betrayal, and the human psyche. Modern drama works may also have a place in English Literature. Poets like William Wordsworth, John Keats, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge are often studied along with more modern poets.

Novels like Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley are staples of the A Level English Literature curriculum.

In English Language, there is more of a focus on the structure, history, and use of language in society. It involves analysing texts and understanding how language influences the world around us and how we communicate. This also includes the study of things like grammar and lessons in analysing English.
