It is so accessible to students. Every other guide I have seen for Faust tends to be convoluted and difficult to get your head around. But this spells it out to students in an accessible way. The context is accurate and detailed and the analysis is of a very high standard. K Chanter, English Teacher & Independent Reviewer (of A Level adaptation)
