Comprehensive and detailed. Provides everything needed to make a close study of the text, with helpful and apt additional information... Enhances learning through the depth of analysis, the examples and demonstration of techniques. Clearly incredibly well researched, so there is a wealth of information to aid students in their understanding and to make well-informed responses... It is spot on for teaching Emma as a comedy text.
This is an impressive and comprehensive resource which would certainly be very useful to both students and teachers, especially anyone teaching the text of Austen for the first time. The level of detail and reference to the text is most helpful. There is a good variety of activities, which would be a help in such a long novel, and the students are encouraged to think for themselves.
