AQA (A) Literature
The notion of studying a range of texts within a shared context underpins the new AQA (A) AS English literature course, enabling the reader to look at the ideas that emerge from the gaps between them. Rather than taking an isolated text for granted, linking it with others may allow us to challenge it more critically, assessing both what it is and what it is not. Working within a contextual framework as you investigate the similarities and differences between texts can develop your active reading skills and heighten your awareness of the writing process itself as well as the infinite variety of approaches that writers can take. This article will show how comparing and contrasting different writers’ representations of the Victorian zeitgeist can shed new light on various aspects of literary form, structure and language.
