English literature GCSE

What does the IET and the engineering community think of the English literature GCSE? Is it relevant or beneficial for engineering or is it (like food tech) something that hardly anybody cares about?

English literature is a near compulsory GCSE in England but is now optional in Wales where it has experienced quite a heavy decline in the number of secondary school students taking it.

? I absolutely loved studying Shakespeare and love watching his plays be they in a theatre or on TV. See 45 Everyday Phrases Coined by Shakespeare to understand his influence on the English language.

I don't believe that William Shakespeare actually wrote his plays although he may have wrote his poems which are very different in style from his plays.

I think the real author of Shakespeare's plays was Elizabeth I as she was probably the only person at the time to possess the knowledge required to write them.
