Literature is poems, both cluster ("power and conflict" or "love and relationships") and unseen, a Shakespeare text, 19th century novel, modern text.
Paper 1 is is Shakespeare and 19th century, 2 is modern text, cluster poetry, unseen poetry.
I enjoy both and I don't think it's particularly difficult to remember the poems, they are mostly all quite good. Cluster poetry - you get given one poem in the exam, you just have to remember quotes for another to compare it to based on themes, ideas, language, structure etc.
I don't know if you can just do one or the other, that will depend on your school's policy if allowed in the first place.
(This is AQA, I am not familiar with other exam boards for English.)

Language is reading and responding to texts, both fiction and non-fiction. It also includes a non-fiction and fiction writing section. Paper 1 language is fiction, 2 is non-fiction.
