British Literature: a Study of British Writers

Description

British Literature: a Study in British Writers

Engage your high school student with a British Literature Homeschool course built on living books, timeless authors, and Christian worldview–no dry textbooks here!

Our literature-based British Literature course for homeschool will immerse your high school students in the best of British literature, all taught from a Christian worldview. This full year high school course blends great works of literature with the history and culture that shaped them, helping your teen develop a deeper understanding of both the stories and the times in which they were written.

Instead of plodding through dull anthologies, your student will encounter real, living books–the enduring works of great British authors and poets such as:

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

Your student will study two plays, several short stories, selections of poetry (including epic poetry), and four novels. Along the way, they’ll practice the essay-writing skills taught in our Essay Styles for High School course, making British Literature not only a reading course, but a true English credit that strengthens your student’s composition and analysis.
