    MOCK: THE PRIME OF MISS BRODIE

  • ABOUT US

    Literature HK was founded to make English literature more accessible to everyone in Hong Kong. With generous support from the AIA Scholarship, our founder Louis has been able to provide free, engaging, and easy-to-understand content for the people of Hong Kong. Since 2023, we’ve been sharing literary insights with the public through social media, and we’ll continue offering private lessons while sharing our passion for literature with the wider community.

  • 10X Humanities Boost—No Years of Reading!

    Literature HK hosts English literature and humanities workshops of all sizes, where you'll gain:

    • The easiest ways to sharpen your thinking, East-West observational skills, and the mindset of literary giants
    • The "create vivid imagery" rhetorical framework to make you influential—no one will ignore you in social or work settings
    • A three-step plan to build a reading habit and fall in love with knowledge (even if you've never liked books before). Would you rather see your child reading Charles Dickens on the bus to school, or scrolling Instagram for 45 minutes?
    • A blueprint to boost your English reading skills—no more struggling with English books
    • A two-step Shakespearean expression framework to level up your clarity!

    Louis believes the AI era will be the richest time for humanities exploration. We'll rethink human connections. AI handles most practical tasks. We must develop 'soft skills'. George Eliot teaches us the complexity of human emotions and morality. Harold Bloom argued William Shakespeare's works invented humanity. In this short-video age, we must understand ourselves and reject 'brain rot'. We can still see traces of Charlotte Brontë and Walt Whitman's rhetoric across articles; AI still hasn't mastered humanities. Over the next decade, we'll crave the unique texture of English literature.

    Let's Do Something Together!

    Whether you're a school, library, senior centre, community group, or any other organisation keen to popularise English literature, do drop us an email. We'd love to collaborate with you!
