I know there are some threads on here somewhere on the same topic but I really cannot be bothered to search through thousands of posts so yeah...
I would be eternally grateful to anyone that could help me out by posting a list of books that I might end up studying at AS/A2 Level English Literature. A full list would be preferred.
Thank you

Highly likely you'll be doing some Shakespeare, but you won't find out the detailed reading list until Sep.
In AS I did 'The Struggle for Modern Identity':
Things fall apart
The World's wife
The Color Purple
Top Girls
Angels in America
Auden poetry
In A2 I did: 'Love through the ages':
Othello
A streetcar named desire
The Great Gatsby
Notes on a Scandal
Robert Browning poetry
And an anthology made up of love poetry spanning a few centuries.
Plus a whole load of random extracts from books/plays/poems for wider reading.

Yeah, I wanted to do the same when I applied to a different school for 6th form. Give the college a ring and they should be able to give you some sort of info.

Depends what period of literature you're studying at A Level.
With AQA your teacher can pick whether you do Victorian or Modern literature. but at A2 the theme is books about love and that's what everyone does.
In L6 I did Victorian...
Jane Eyre
Silas Marner
Poetry of Emily Dickinson
Poetry of Thomas Hardy
Mrs Warren's Profession
A Woman of No Importance
Oliver Twist
Wuthering Heights
In U6 I did
Othello
Canterbury Tales
Poetry of John Donne
But we were told to read widely around the theme and not just concentrate on the books we were doing in class.
