Please read the below carefully and then download the Word document which has further info and the holiday work.</span></strong><br /><br />The course we are studying is English Literature specification A with the AQA exam board. Further details of this course are available on their website, should you wish to find out more. We have selected option 2, Victorian Literature. For this course, there are a number of set texts you must purchase and read.<br /><br />The set texts are:<br />Hard Times by Charles Dickens (Penguin Popular Classics)<br />A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen (Dover Thrift)<br />A Woman of No Importance by Oscar Wilde (any edition)<br />A Time Torn Man by Claire Tomalin (any edition)<br /><br />Another set text will be an anthology of Thomas Hardy’s poetry, but the exam board have provided copies of these free of charge, so you will not need to purchase them. <br /><br />You should read these texts before starting the course in September. In particular, they should read the two plays (A Doll’s House and A Woman of No Importance) as we will be starting the coursework essay on these straight away. If you have any financial difficulties purchasing the texts, please contact me and I will apply to the school who may have limited funds to assist.<br /><br />As well as this, there are two written tasks you should complete and hand in to your English teacher in your first lesson in September. I have also included a list of wider reading. You should independently plan to read a few texts from this list throughout the year.<br /><br /><a title="View Overview of Course, Reading List, Holiday Work on Scribd" href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/33536582/Overview-of-Course-Reading-List-Holiday-Work" style="margin: 12px auto 6px auto; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none; display: block; text-decoration: underline;">Overview of Course, Reading List, Holiday Work</a> <object id="doc_508887634590971" name="doc_508887634590971" height="500" width="100%" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf" style="outline:none;" rel="media:document" resource="http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=33536582&access_key=key-1ktwrbk701cbark0yduc&page=1&viewMode=list" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/searchmonkey/media/" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" > <param name="movie" value="http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf"> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"> <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"> <param name="FlashVars" value="document_id=33536582&access_key=key-1ktwrbk701cbark0yduc&page=1&viewMode=list"> <embed id="doc_508887634590971" name="doc_508887634590971" src="http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=33536582&access_key=key-1ktwrbk701cbark0yduc&page=1&viewMode=list" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="500" width="100%" wmode="opaque" bgcolor="#ffffff"></embed> </object>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
