One aspect of style in prose writing is the narrative voice, or narrative perspective or point of view as it is sometimes called. However, what does it mean and how can you identify it in a text?
In literature, who is telling the story affects how a story can be received by the reader. Novels, short stories and the like are crafted by writers to produce an affect, and part of that crafting is in HOW a story is told; WHO is telling the story.
In this course we will learn what is the narrative voice, what are the different types of narrative voice, their characterisations, and how to identify them in literature.
Who is this course for?
This course is aimed at students studying A-level and International Baccalaureate English Literature.
This course will also be useful to GCSE students wanting to get an 8 or a 9.
Or anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of literature to gain a fuller understanding of what they are reading.
Course Content:
▪	What is narrative voice
▪	Characterisation of narrator and narrative voice
▪	Multiple examples to practice your knowledge
▪	Going through the analysis together and understanding what evidence will tell you what narrative voice the text is written in.

Understanding The Narrative Voice [English Lit]

In this course we will be analysing the poem “To His Coy Mistress” by Andrew Marvell. As a metaphysical poet Marvell was concerned with questions of life and death; his use of conceits (inventive metaphors, similes, analogies) challenges the reader to see past the initial words and look deeper into a more universal theme: carpe diem!

Course Content:
•	Reading the poem & understanding of the title
•	Contextual information and how to use it to understand the poem
•	Analysis of stanzas 1, 2 & 3
•	Analysis of the language and imagery in the poem
•	Analysis of form, structure, rhyme, and poetic meter
•	Activities for you to develop your understanding of the poem.

Who this course is aimed at:
•	A- Level English Literature Students studying the Pre-1900s poetry anthology
•	Students interested in studying Andrew Marvell or poetry in general

By the end of this course you will have a thorough understanding of Marvell’s “To His Coy Mistress”. You will be able to identify language and imagery that could support your interpretation and how the context influenced Marvell’s choice of language. You will have an understanding of how the form and structure supports and shapes meaning in the poem, as well as the effect of the rhyme and poetic meter.
