The Struggle for Identity in Modern Literature
These pages include resources for the new AQA Specification A AS Level English Literature (LTA1C and LITA2 Option C) as well as additional materials that will, it is hoped, be useful to students, teachers and other readers whether or not they are following an examination course.
There are many texts and sites to list, so this topic has been split over several pages covering, in addition to these general resources, drama, poetry and prose; use the links in the menu on the left to find your way round.Useful websites
Literature
- Norton Anthology of English Literature: Twentieth Century - a brief overview of some issues of the century, including Ireland.
Finding texts online
Because many of the texts are still in copyright, finding texts is likely to be more difficult, though some works are available. See the usual sources of online texts listed on the literature links page, in particular:History
If you are teaching or studying the AQA course it is essential to refer to the AQA specification to ensure that you are reading the right texts and meeting all the requirements!
- BBC History site: select sections such as 'World Wars' or 'Recent history' as appropriate. These timelines should prove useful:
- Timeline of the Twentieth Century from About.com
- Timeline of the American Civil Rights Movement (1954 – 1965)
- Women's Rights from History Learning site
- Women's rights: from the National Archives
