Overall I think this is a really valuable resource. It is clearly directed at the aims of the specification and the assessment objectives, which require an understanding of the aspects of narrative, but it also offers relevant background contextual material, which serves to reinforce the importance of the aspects of narrative in terms of what Coleridge was trying to achieve.
