British Literature: a Study of British Writers

Description

British Literature: a Study in British Writers

In our British Literature course, your high school students will not only study excellent literature, but they’ll also study it in the context of what was going on at the time it was written.  And integrating history with literature study will help your high schoolers have a deeper understanding and appreciation of literature.

Additionally, we use real, living, books in all of our literature studies. So instead of dull textbooks  your student will study written works of powerful British authors and poets such as:

• William Shakespeare (pictured on our cover)
• Geoffrey Chaucer
• Charlotte Bronte
• Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
• Charles Dickens
• Oscar Wilde
• Jane Austen
• C.S. Lewis

Our British Literature is a full-year, high school level course.  In this course, your homeschooled high school student will study two plays, multiple selections of poetry, and one selection of epic poetry, several short stories, and four novels.

Additionally, British Literature incorporates the essay writing skills taught in our Essay Styles for High School course. In fact,  we recommend Essay Styles as a prerequisite to all of our literature and history courses.  (Essay Styles may also be taken at the same time as any of our literature or history courses.)
