What is GCSE English Literature about?
GCSE English Literature enables pupils to become critical readers of poetry, prose and drama taken from a wide range of different contexts and cultures. Students therefore develop independent skills interpreting stories, novels, poems and plays by analysing the presentation of characters, themes and settings.
