What Poetry and Prose Are You Studying in English Literature This Year?

Hi everyone,

I'm an 11th-grade English Literature student, and I'm curious about the poetry and prose that other students are studying this year. I'm looking for recommendations and insights into different works.

What poetry and prose pieces are you currently studying in your literature courses? What do you think about them?

Thanks in advance for sharing!

I’m in year 12 and have studied Love through the Ages: The Great Gatsby, Othello and poetry by the likes of Keats, Robert Burns and Lord Byron. We’ve now started Frankenstein, The Picture of Dorian Gray and will be doing the Handmaids Tale and more next year.

I just completed Year 13, where I studied a collection of contemporary poetry and the works of John Donne, which I found the most interesting and progressed my understanding/insight into the world of literature the most. For prose I also did Frankenstein and The Handmaid's Tale, which personally I found very dull. I studied A Streetcar Named Desire and Hamlet for drama, which also gave me a massive appreciation for theatre and stagecraft which I did not have before the course. But I think, regardless of which texts you study, you will have a deeper insight into the different forms literature can take, and how a writer can make the most of the medium.
