Pre-1770 Explored

Pre-1770 Drama Defined

In this part of the English Literature AS or A Level course, you'll read written texts produced before 1770 and intended for dramatic performance. So you'll read scripts written for performance, which may later have been made into television and film productions.

Pre-1770 Drama: Why Study This?

Your studies in this area will teach you about the different ways writers have used language and structure in their works. You'll also gain the ability to interpret how writers approach the different genres such as tragedy and comedy, and what kinds of cultural influences have a bearing on their written works.

What Will I Study During Pre-1770 Drama?

Shakespeare will obviously feature strongly in this part of the course. You'll also analyse how different writers create their characters and plots, and you'll learn to compare the way authors approach these vital elements of writing. You'll write essays discussing form, embedded meanings and connections within texts.

Further Study After Pre-1770 Drama

The assignments, essays and other coursework you undertake during Pre-1770 Drama will qualify you for Degree-level study of courses including Drama, English Literature, Creative Writing, Theatre Studies, Classics and Linguistics. You could also choose to study film or television courses at film school.

Recent Reviews of Pre-1770 Essays

What our users think of the Pre-1770 essays in this section:

"Overall, a good essay, but I'm not sure if it is up to A-Level standard. Good quotes are used throughout to back up your points, and there is a bit of language analysis. Some interesting points have been made regarding the power of women, considering the time that the play was written. A short paragraph at the start of the essay which introduced the play would have been good. Lacking in length slightly, so you could have expanded on some points. TSR User: boosh_slayer"

"well.. i believe its a good essay .. wuite clear and simple.. try and use a wider range of vocab.. so the english sounds more stylised and include dramtic iron etc because faterall its a play"
TSR
"strong quotes analysis with detailed character analysations. well written"
chiny94
"An ok start, but it may not be up to A-Level standard. A good, clear introduction which is straight to the point. Quotes from the play have been used, and partially analysed, which demonstrates that you have some understanding of the text. There are numerous spelling errors, so you need to re-read your work. You are missing a conclusion, which it vital for any piece of work. TSR User: boosh_slayer"
TSR
"This is A-grade material, as far as I'm concerned. You show a concrete knowledge of the text, and do well to support your points with evidence from the book. You develop a coherent narrative by showing the evolution of Romeo and Juliet's language as the plot progresses. You're concise and don't wander from the point. However, this could be improved by improving the introduction and conclusion. I would like the introduction to clearly outline what you're going to say in the essay, and the conclusion to clearly say what you've said in the essay. As of current, it's very poetic, but isn't that effective at driving your argument home to the reader. Other than that, I have no major qualms with this piece - well done. TSR User: chidona"
