This course explores some of the poems, short stories, plays, and novels covered in IGCSE, GCSE, and HKDSE English in Literature in detail, and teaches key literary analytical skills, such as the thematic, narrative, and prosodic traditions from Renaissance to modern periods. That includes works by William Shakespeare, William Blake, John Keats, William Carlos Williams, Dylan Thomas, F. Scott Fitzgerald, James Joyce, Maya Angelou, Margaret Atwood, and others. Students will learn to read these texts under a systematic, critical framework and to develop their analytical and imaginative abilities to approach unseen poetry, a challenging exam section for many. Teachers, adults, and students of English Literature can join, and no literary experience is needed: This course prepares students to read for leisure, for exams, and for language enhancement.
