Hi,
Yes, if you want to have a career in literature, you should certainly pursue a master's degree in English literature after a bachelor's degree in commerce. The only prerequisite is your interest and inclination for literature and more than that you need to be sure about your basic ideas in literary terms before you enter the master's degree. For example, you need to know the poetic devices like simile, metaphor, juxtaposition, etc. You need to have a creative writing flair. You need to have the knowledge of some plays, novels, poetry and literary criticism already taught in the English majors/honours bachelor's degree programme.
Though it is a bit tough because you need to have a specific topic in your Bachelor's degree to do a Masters in any topic but in this scenario, you may choose IGNOU for your master’s degree.
