The English Literature Exam

The English Literature content is split over 2 papers:


You have studied:


  • Poetry- The Anthology- Power and Conflict section
  • Drama- An Inspector Calls
  • Shakespeare- Macbeth
  • Prose- A Christmas Carol
You should know all of the poems in the Power and Conflict section and be able to summarise them as well as identify at least 5 language features for each. All of the other texts should be very familiar to you, but if you need more notes, I will add information over the next few weeks.
See below for the breakdown of each paper:


Paper 1: Macbeth and A Christmas Carol


Paper 2: An Inspector Calls; Power and Conflict Poetry and an Unseen poem (a present from the exam board which you will see on the day).
