History or English Lit A level???

I have just finished my GCSEs and think I have done pretty well in and like both English Lit and History so am unsure as to what to take.
I am also taking French and Art for A level so would appreciate any advice :smile:

I did English lit, history and french a level and I thought my subject choices complemented each other really well.
Although it was really interesting and enjoyable I found history a level to be a lot more work than my other two subjects especially when revising because there was so much content to learn, so just a forewarning.
As you have to write an essay about a French text at a level I found doing English lit to be really useful for that as I already knew how to structure literature essays and put in analysis, so English could go well with your other subject choices in terms of developing essay skills etc.
Obviously it depends on what subject you think you'd enjoy most though!
