Welcome to AP Literature

“No doubt the world is entirely an imaginary world, but it is only once removed from the true world.”

The AP English Literature and Composition course is offered for high school students who wish to gain college credit by exam. The exam tests your ability to recognize stylistic elements of literature, and assess the effectiveness of literature. It tests your ability to write clear and organized standard essays in a limited amount of time. The AP Literature class is also a place for you to think about literature as an art form, and as such, how it reflects the spirit of the times in which it was created. With this in mind, I will be spending some time with you examining the historic zeitgeists of the literature we read.

But I also hope that you will observe literature as a reflection of human life, and seek to increase your own self-awareness, and awareness of the world around you: The timeless themes apply heaviest in times of transition—Who am I? Will I make a difference in the world? Where am I going? What do I seek? How will I bear loss? Where will I find joy? As seniors, these questions inevitably weigh upon you as you start your life journey away into the world.
