What is English Literature?

Looking at pieces of literature and analysing them in in terms of themes, characters, the overall message... etc.

Thanks I should probably just check the book out but the bookstore which the student book is sold is at another city so it takes time. One more question; Do books change every year or are the same books repeated every year?

You have a selection of books to study from a fairly stagnant list. For instance, I did my literature exam earlier today and it involved the study of a play (Blood Brothers) and a novel (A Christmas Carol). There were eight plays to choose from (at least, I think they were all plays), and eight novels.

Out of curiosity, what's the reason for your query?
