Ariel Comprehensive Guide for A Level
- AQA A A Level
Ariel is widely considered to be Sylvia Plath’s most important and influential work, but it is the raw emotional content and the disturbing connotations of the figurative language that make it a continually challenging and controversial collection. As a highly distinctive example of confessional poetry, Ariel is an essential text for feminist and psychoanalytic literary study.

What do teachers say about this resource? (10753)
Incredibly thorough and detailed resource with excellent and specific information on the poetry collection as a whole.
I loved the critical overview of the text and I also appreciated the discussion questions that came after the focus on each poem.
One of the consistent strengths of this resource is how it targets Assessment Outcomes, giving clearly relevant and detailed coverage of each one in turn. The walkthrough of each poem gives an excellent starting point for each poem that can be used and developed further.
This is an excellent resource full of top quality information.
An impressive resource.
Invaluable for both staff and pupils.
