A podcast designed for A-Level English Literature students, teachers, and enthusiasts who want to go deeper than revision guides.

Each episode takes a fresh look at core texts, themes, and exam strategies. You’ll hear clear breakdowns of key passages, literary devices, and critical perspectives, along with practical tips for essay writing and analysis. Episodes also explore how classic and modern texts connect to wider ideas — history, philosophy, politics, and culture — helping students build richer, more conceptual arguments.

Expect a mix of:

• Close Reading Walkthroughs – line-by-line exploration of set passages.

• Theme Spotlights – e.g. “Power and Corruption in Shakespeare” or “Identity in Postcolonial Literature.”

• Critical Voices – discussions of Marxist, feminist, psychoanalytic, and postmodern lenses.

• Exam Skills Clinics – structuring essays, handling unseen texts, and integrating context.

• Student Questions Answered – listener Q&A with targeted guidance.

Whether you’re revising for exams, teaching the syllabus, or just love literature, Beyond the Page makes complex analysis accessible, insightful, and exam-ready.
