Paradise Lost Book Nine Comprehensive Guide for A Level

A comprehensive guide written specifically to support the teaching of Paradise Lost Book Nine at A Level.

Includes:
  • Detailed notes to support student’s analysis of all key aspects of this poem; such as characters | author vs narrator | Milton’s language and its effects | key themes and ideas | social and historical interpretations | criticism of Paradise Lost over time
  • Though-provoking discussion points and essay questions interspersed throughout help target student’s learning and focus on all A Level assessment objectives

Prepare for the exam with:
  • OCR specific exam advice and practice questions
  • WJEC exam guidance, practice exam question using William Blake’s The Tyger and a sample essay with commentary

I would recommend this resource to teachers and students.
I particularly liked the clear, straightforward presentation of historical and social context and the insertion of a sample essay specifically addressing a question in the specification.
