This is a very thorough resource, which comprehensively covers the whole play at both AS and A level. Clearly written by an expert, it leads the pupil through every aspect of the text. I really enjoyed reading something which has been written by a true lover of the text. It would work very well, both as a learning resource and as a revision guide.
