English Language and Literature

The Oxford English Course offers undergraduates a unique opportunity to study the whole of English Literature, from Anglo Saxon to the present day, in a tutorial setting.

There are some set texts in the First Year Syllabus, but otherwise the course consists of a series of chronologically defined areas of study (e.g. The Renaissance 1500−1642), within which students can choose the authors, topics, and genres that attract them most. Individuals are encouraged to pursue their own interests, and the tutorial system allows for a wide variety of approaches.
