Our Department is passionate about supporting the teaching of English literature, in schools and colleges as well at university. That's why we have recorded a series of podcasts where staff and students at the University of Southampton discuss texts, approaches, and study tips to support your learning at A-Level and GCSE.

If you have any problems accessing any material, or if there is any text or topic you would like our academics and students to discuss to support your studies please let us know by emailing: w.may@soton.ac.uk .
