Comment from : Bizarre Is The New Black

Is the A-level like the Advanced Placement courses (AP) or is it more intense? In America we have two AP English courses: English Language and Composition; and English Literature They count for college credits

For gay love poems, I would recommend The Columbia Anthology of Gay Literature, and Gay Testaments Old and New And of course you know about Sappho, I'm sure Ovid's Metamorphosis has what we might today call a transgender man (female to male) transformed into male shape by a goddess
Comment from : feezlfuzzl

Pretty much the only female poet of any note I’m aware of is Elizabeth Barrett Browning shame that wish there were more female poets!
Comment from : Jonathon Woodgate

I did Othello in year 8!

I’m not very good at English Literature but I really like it so I don’t know what to do I’m really worried about it and if I’ll be able to do it
Comment from : Molly Nattrass

Comment from : Jenifer Sá

Lucy, I love Victorian Literature too! I am studying Literature in Latin America, and I enjoyed reading and analyzing english masterpiece's books as Wuthering HeightsbrThanks for the videos, and I hope watch more videos about your reading experiences
Comment from : Daniela Paez

In my country books for a person like me seems a bit expensive yet bcz of wordsworth classics I have readed so many classics and as I am fan of short stories I thinks its a blessing to have such publishers
Comment from : javeria talpur

I feel so agitated when I think that i am going to study in UK in September For native English speakers it might be easier to read a vast amount of books but for people from other countries the whole curriculum might seem far more challenging as the unknown words will be more The whole idea is getting me upset :(
Comment from : Konstantinos Stavrakas

hi there, did you go to university to study English Literature? If so is it possible if you could make some videos on how that is going?
Comment from : hope rolle

👍
Comment from : Ralph Alfonso

I got Othello , handmaid's tale and Atonement and I got to agree that Atonement is fucking awesome
Comment from : Giosue Agius

I'm curious what you mean by "white feminist love" white lesbian or? (Agree with your overall point, just was caught by the phrasing)
Comment from : Liza Bright

I hope you meant that you wish there were more female poets There should be no majorities especially in something like A- level
Comment from : Callum Bennett

Hey Lucy, could you tell me what I am expected to do if the instruction says: Your lesson topic is: Identify and analyse distinguishing features of figurative language in a given text (choose to your preference)
Comment from : Nevena Tanaskovic

you don't need an english literature degree to say " would you like fries with that"lol
Comment from : electro1622

Do you recommend any other lit vlogs that are up-to-date?
Comment from : Raisa Martinez

I know how you feel, my favourite poem in my anthology was the one used in the previous year’s exam 😞
Comment from : Rebecca Rankin

Hi just watched this, I'm in the same year as you but we are doing the Love through the Ages topic now and Othello and the Great Gatsby Are you doing the war section now with the First Casualty and Journey's End? x
Comment from : Just another Emily

Comment from : Asdf Qwer

Nice videos, thanks for your time and efforts, to increase your viewers awareness of English literature That's realy kind of you My concern is , do the international students who are eager to improve their knowledge as well as their writing skills, able to master English literature in 4 years? thanks again

Taking AS English Literature, thank you so much for this video!
Comment from : Tracy Noze

I have always wanted to study literature Alas! I can't now
Comment from : For the love of Classics

What are you're target grades for English literature brAlso do you think doing English literature with biology and chemistry is too much 💖
Comment from : Aami Ashraf

I am going to be studying English Literature, I'm slightly worried as I'm not the biggest reader however I am going to try my hardest The texts I will be studying are Tess of the D'Urbervilles, King Lear and Blake's 'Songs of Innocence and Experience' Are there any tips you would recommend for starting sixth form and this course?xx
Comment from : Emma Jane

English Lit is groovy It would be cool to have someone with differing opinions and ideas about the texts
Comment from : Niall R

Thanks this video was so helpful x I'm trying to decide if I should do English lit and ik that tess is one of our set texts so it was really helpful to hear you talk about that xx English lit Q&A would be great also
Comment from : Sophia Ikonyak

I'm starting the lit A level course this September, and i'm kind of worrying about the poetry aspect of it; I didn't like many of the poems from GCSE and so revising them was pretty difficult for me I was wondering how they differ from GCSE to A level - is the level of analysis different? Are your A level ones harder?brYour videos are really helping me get into reading more classics (and books that aren't just YA), so thank you!
Comment from : Lucy Whiston

Thank you for amazing video!
Comment from : Muhammadrahim Kenjaboev

So will you have 4 English Literature exams at the end of Year 13? By this I mean will you have exams based on the work you've learnt this year at the end of Year 13? I'm from Wales and we still do AS Levels in Year 12 which count as 40 of our final A Level Grade
Comment from : Lydia Thomas

Enjoyable video brVery personal and individual
Comment from : chrish hail

thanks, very interesting every single word you've said
Comment from : Irene jerez suita

I'm an international student wanting to apply to oxford my secondary school system is incredibly different (we don't choose particular courses) which means i've never studies english lit in that much detail (esp since it's a secondary language at our school) brbrSo i'm wondering if you have any (course) books you use or will need to use for your AS and A level that will help me in the same way to prepare for my application? brbrThank you!
Comment from : elise_y

Thank you for the video! Since I am from Turkey; naturally, I had not knowing what a A Level English course consists of until the time I started to read Doing English by Robert Eaglestone Your video make the idea about the course concrete in my mind And I highly recommend the book to you I think it is just for you When you have look at the book you will understand what I mean
Comment from : Gürkan kılınç

wow disgusting is a strong word damn
Comment from : rainer

hello, i am studying this course this year via distance learning
Comment from : ellana chughtai

I've just finished the second year of the same course! I really enjoyed the second year, probably more than the second year as we had already developed the skills in the first year and we could get really stuck in the texts We looked at the pre-1900 poetry - I read a few of the post-1900 I wasn't that keen on them either I also studied Othello and The Great Gatsby as well and really enjoyed both (I studied Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca instead) And yes!!! I think I was the only who picked up on the Nick X Gatsby vibes in my class!!!! I did the unseen prose last year on Brooklyn and I thought the question was alright but not really inspiring The second year of the course for me was very intense (particularly exam wise) The exams are really long and ask you to do a lot - I thought I'd never be able to get through a three hour paper, writing three consecutive essays in a row but here we are - you have to be motivated and passionate about the texts (which will be no problem for you :) ) The coursework is also a great opportunity to gain as many marks as possible and pick two texts you love: I looked at the fluidity of gender identity (exploring gender as a social construct) in Shakespeare's As You Like It and Virginia Woolf's Orlando; have you had any thoughts on your coursework yet? I hope your exams went great We studied some great texts in the second year (Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Arthur Miller's All My Sons and Duffy's Feminine Gospels) Do you know what texts you'll be studying for the second year yet? Good luck with the rest of the course :)

you are Lesbian or just don't like everything being straight?
Comment from : Grey Fox

I would give an A+ to that accent
Comment from : Grey Fox

I Love the Wordsworth Classics Editions! They look so Pretty and "Classy" for Me Good Luck for Your Exams!!
Comment from : Claudia Marin

Lucy you're so adorable I want to recommend a fun read for you that I'm currently enjoying: My Life with Bob: Flawed Heroine Keeps Book of Books, Plot Ensues by Pamela Paul Pamela is the editor of the New York Times Book Review, and the book is all about her life, her books, and her book of books, BOB I know you will love it This is a bookworm's book about books
Comment from : Linda Harrison

A Level English Lit was my favourite class, and the way the exams work has already changed so much since I did them! Gosh! At least it seems like there is more 'seen' material, I can't remember having any in exam reference material in A2 but honestly, the exam are just a blur now haha brbrThis really makes me want to do a video about how studying English Lit at A Level and at uni changes, because the expectations are completely different! Still, this video will definitely help with my dissertation creative writing project because I'm definitely out of touch with A Levels now, so thank you, Lucy! - Bee x
Comment from : Maddie & Bee

Yes, I enjoyed the texts we studied, except I didn't really enjoy Dancing at Lughnasa, it was just as simple as I didn't enjoy the story too much Although my teacher at the time did say that with Dancing at Lughnasa that was pretty normal, because she didn't even enjoy it I actually forgot to mention in my last comment that English is a compulsory subject throughout secondary school here, we also have to study Irish and Maths throughout school too
Comment from : The Nifflers Case

Good luck on your exams! As a fellow Victorian literature lover myself I can't wait to see some more Victorian lit videos from your channel! ❤
Comment from : Blatantly Bookish

I do Language and Literature and it's so stressful to me because I didn't know my sixth form did both, I thought we'd just do Literature and so I'm having to play catchup on the Language side of it
Comment from : Sean Tremarco

Thanks very much for this video! Really gave me confidence for my exam in a few weeks Going to be doing something very similar, except with Charlotte Bronte Good luck with your exam!
Comment from : Michael Best

I can't hear about The Great Gatsby without thinking of that dumb tumblr post that says Gatsby calls Nick 'old sport' because he can't remember his name and it's too late to ask SO DUMB
Comment from : Wren James

Love this video! I'm in year 12 doing edexcel English literature and I want to do it at uni, so nice to see someone equally passionate about English! Just wondering if you were thinking about doing it at uni and if so where, or just what universities you were looking at in general? Loved this video x
Comment from : Sarah

That's really cool I'm also studying english literature at A-level (in Denmark) and have an exam in two weeks Through my classes I've been introduced to victorian authors and the romanticism period, which sparked my interest in books from those periods That's how I've found booktubers like you :-)
Comment from : Sofia Helene

I'm at the end of year 11 and will have to finalise my A - Level choices soon, one being English lit I love to read but I'm really unsure as to whether I want to study it as I find GCSE lit hard in terms of memorising quotes and having to learn poems and I'm a bit unsure as so whether I should still go ahead with it or drop it Any advice? (Great video by the way!)
Comment from : Alice Adams

i am new on your chanel, but i surely would enjoy more videos like this one good luck with your exames ❤
Comment from : Hoața de cărți

It's definitely interesting for me to know such a different system! I would love to watch more videos about English literature!
Comment from : perfectioninbooks

I got an A* in eng lit, super fun course, we didn't get any part of the text though in our exams We had to memorise everything
Comment from : Just Do It

Good luck with your exams! I was in your position 2 years ago so I know how you feel! I was on the WJEC exam board for English so my course was slightly different although we did Othello too and I totally agree with the lack of diversity in the poetry!
Comment from : HollyTheBookLover

Anne and Sylvia did study together! Anne has a poem she wrote about Sylvia after she died
Comment from : Sarah W

Good Luck with all your exams Lucy!!
Comment from : nukemz

I did my AS level of English Literature before switching to a journalism/social media coms course, and I wish I could've carried Literature on because I loved it and it was my best subject! I can't wait to be doing it again at uni! But in my first year of college I studied Tess of the D'Urbervilles too (though I didn't like it all that much, unfortunately) I also studied Jane Eyre and The Doll's House :)
Comment from : A Frolic Through Fiction

Even though I hated doing the exams, I actually really miss studying English Literature, particularly the Bronte sisters! My A2 coursework essay on Jane Eyre and Wide Sargasso Sea was so much fun I also loved studying books like and The Kite Runner The Great Gatsby, which are both so rich with imagery and symbolism brGood luck with your grades! You seem really passionate about the books and that will definitely come through in your essays :)
Comment from : Tomes And Travel

You should definitely do a video about as creative writing, like what we do + the exam, even though they are getting rid of it 😒
Comment from : Mitch Collett

I'm Irish so I didn't do A-levels, but it's actually really interesting to see how similar it is to Leaving cert English Our English course is combined so we do two papers, the first paper is comprehension/creative writing and the second paper is literature and unseen passages and poetry We studied How Many Miles To Babylon, Sive, seen poetry and Dancing at Lughnasa We also only do one exam in our final year at school Good luck in your exam :)
Comment from : The Nifflers Case

oooo I might make one of these cause mine is all different
Comment from : Ellen Jones

Best tips for English language and literature for GCSEs and A levels, for instance, powerful phrases, what to avoid, specific techniques, how to set it all out to ensure best marks, etc Please?
Comment from : Marcelina A

This is the course I'm doing, too! Except I'm a second year so I'm looking at a few others on top When you mentioned the question on Desdemona and Emilia as wives I had a pretty stressful flashback to last exam season 😅 Good luck in your exams!
Comment from : ReadsWithARavenclaw

Hi! What an interesting video! I would say that it has must be the perfect course for booklovers; however, I also believe that you have to work hard in order to memorize a lot of names and titles Besides, analising poetry it could be really tricky sometimesbrWell, I have a question about those books Is the print small?brTo sum up, I wish you luck in the exams Go for it!brGreetings from Spain!
Comment from : Carlos

I do A-Level English Lit too, we're studying Frankenstein for our pre-1900 text - I wish we did Tess of the D'Urbervilles though, it's a book I've always meant to read and I think studying it would incite me to read it just that little bit more
Comment from : elliejeffery

Please Lucy don't stop talking about Victorian literature You're one of the only booktubers who talk about it, most don't
Comment from : Will

Comment from : Glory Folaranmi

Your lipstick looks gorgeous! Amazing video as always❤️
Comment from : abigail elena

I wonder whose poems would you add to the text book? I wolud like to read some poems by female authors written before the XX century
Comment from : Ana K

Thank you so much for making this video! I'm in year 11 so I've just had to pick what I want to study at A-level and I was having doubts about whether English lit was for me, but after watching this video I'm feeling more confident about the subject Thanks again and good luck with your exam! X
