What do teachers say about this resource? (1401)

A very thorough and detailed resource. I really enjoyed reading the summaries and commentaries on each section of the novel. It reminded me how good Jane Austen is as a writer! All aspects of the text are covered; particular praise goes to the analysis of language and narrative techniques. It’s all too easy to get caught up in character, plot, theme etc; the Assessment Objectives also want students to be able to talk intelligently about form and structure. The writer has clearly committed hours of preparation to this resource. It was a delight to read such an erudite and engaging resource – thank you for your time and effort in producing it.
