Reviews / Votes
Excellent companion for A-level students taking English Literature. Suitable for AQA, OCR and Edexcel exam boards, it is thorough, accessible and reasonably priced. * 5 Star Amazon Reviewer * Sixth form students will find themselves directly addressed throughout this course book. Commentaries contextualise extracts in terms of the author's own agenda as a writer and their place in a wider social and historical context. 'Success in English Literature' offers the hard-pressed teacher a valuable and supportive resource in building students' confidence in the difficult area of dealing with 'unseen texts'. * 5 Star Amazon Reviewer *More details
