"A truly outstanding and crucial resource for ambitious learners. Its annotations and insightful contextual knowledge provide students with the key information they need to achieve the top grades (information very much elusive in other guides). The annotations allow pupils to better understand the requirements of the assessment objectives and develop an understanding of the crafting of the text as a whole through exploration of authorial intent which examiners are always searching for within responses. 

​

The commentaries and explorations at the rear of the guide offer a treasure trove of support and guidance which is guaranteed to improve the understanding of any teacher and student and will undoubtedly lead to stronger written responses from students which offer a 'thoughtful', 'critical' and 'perceptive understanding' of the text which is crucial for gaining the top grades in the exam.

​

This resource should not only be in any learner's library, but also on the shelf of any English Department as a resource that is actively viewed to enhance subject knowledge for any teacher regardless of experience. The wealth of knowledge will enhance any lesson and bring a breath of fresh air to this classic text. 

​

A crucial resource which is truly exceptional in the support it will offer both teachers and students. A must-have in the modern-day canon of English resources."
