📖 How do you get better at English Literature?

Improving at English Literature comes down to a mix of active reading, regular practice, and building strong analytical habits.

  • Read actively, not passively: make notes on character, theme, and technique as you read so that you build up a detailed picture of each text.
  • Focus on the writer's choices: practise commenting on how specific techniques create specific effects, rather than just identifying them.
