What do teachers say about this resource? (7582)
This is a superb resource for an anthology of modern poetry with little written criticism. The analyses are detailed and reliable. There is good use of poetic terminology all the way through, a handy breakdown of the assessment objectives, different critical approaches and a literary glossary... It's good as a teacher guide and a student guide, with suggested activities for each poem... The author's subject knowledge is second to none.
Good value for money... It gives students some specific technical content and directs them towards further reading / higher critical analyses... Allows independence; supports classroom work [and] provides reassurance.
