• Poetic forms and close reading: you learn to analyse structure, imagery, and tone across a range of poems, from sonnets to free verse.
• Novel and short story study: you examine narrative techniques, characterisation, and themes in novels and short stories.
• Drama and Shakespeare: you study how playwrights use language, staging, and dramatic tension — with Shakespeare usually central to the course.
• Literary theory and criticism: you learn how different theoretical approaches can change the way you interpret the same piece of writing.
