Recommendations: This course is especially recommended for the students who have already taken at least one previous high-school level Lightning Literature course, who are studying world history, and who are interested in British literature. These should not be viewed as restrictions; this course can profitably be used by high-school students of any grade regardless of which previous Lightning Literature courses they have completed. Generally speaking, this course is more difficult than the two American Literature courses and Speech but easier than the Shakespeare courses, British Christian Literature, or British Medieval Literature. Much depends on student interest in the material, however.

This course is most useful for the students who have already taken at least one previous high-school level Lightning Literature course and who are interested in British Literature. However, the course can be used by any high school students of any grade without any previous experience in Lightning Literature courses although it is more difficult than the two American Literature courses and Speech.
