English
English at Cambridge is compelling, demanding and astoundingly rewarding. The course is extraordinary, as it lets you read and analyse exciting, challenging and enthralling works of literature - in poetry, prose, drama and a myriad of other forms - dating from 1300 to those published last week. It also allows you to follow your own interests, for example in politics, history, art, theology or music, to become the context within which these works are understood. Further details about the course can be found on the .
