British Literature and Composition Year 2-Dickens & Lewis – [Live Class]
In British Literature and Composition Year 2, we will engage the curiosity of the students through the study of great thinkers and writers like Dickens and C.S. Lewis. The course will look at the literary techniques employed by these writers, as well as the ideas they expounded. We will also spend time analysing contemporary poets of the period. Students will learn to write in different forms, learning the conventions of these forms. This will develop the foundation laid in the British Literature Year 1 course, where we explore writing persuasively and discursively in detail. British Literature Year 2 – Dickens & Lewis will add the element of literary criticism.
