Y12/13 Marlowe

Marlowe was a contemporary of Shakespeare who was hugely popular in his time. He's also one of my favourite characters from history thanks to the strange stories and conspiracies surrounding him.

You will need a decent working knowledge of Marlowe for next year. Start at teh fountain of knowledge that is wikipedia.

Nosferatu

Y12/13 Othello

As English Literature students, this should excite you!

We are going to see Othello at the Crucible.

There is also a 'page to stage' talk prior to the performance, which should spark the interest of you drama folk out there.

The trip will be on 12th October 2011.

The cost is £15. Come and see me for more info and a letter.

Y12-Y13 Gothic texts

Firstly, I must apologise for the delay in getting this up. The school internet provider decided to block access to blogspot for staff and it's been fun trying to get through the proxy.

Anyway,

Here are the details of the texts you will need to get for next year. We usually ask the Waterstones in Orchard Square in town to stock up on these, but they can often be a little cheaper online so it's up to you how you get them.

Doctor Faustus, Christopher Marlowe, Oxford World Classics, ISBN 978-0-19-953706-8

Dracula, Bram Stoker, Vintage Classics, ISBN 978-0-099-51122-9

The Bloody Chamber, Angela Carter, Vintage Books, ISBN 978-0-099-58811-5
