Reading:
Candidates must submit three written responses by referring to three texts in total: one play by Shakespeare, one text from a different culture and one text from the English Literary Heritage. If the different cultures text is prose then the ELH text must be poetry and vice versa.
Candidates must write about each text separately and there should be an equal balance between the three texts in their final submission.
Work should be produced under formal supervision in time totalling up to 4 hours.
