What do teachers say about this resource? (9742)
The resource is of a very high quality. It is a very impressive piece of work... I think this resource would be an asset to any student or teacher of this novel. I would certainly use it in my own teaching... The sections on the background to the novel are very good – succinct but with the right amount of information... The suggested answers to the exam-style essay questions are very useful and detailed.
A very good resource which addresses many of the issues teachers have with this course which can be challenging for those with no linguistic/stylistic training... The pre-reading activities ... help give a strong overview of Stoker and the context... The plot and character summaries ... are sufficiently detailed but easily accessible as an introduction to the novel. I like the way the character studies are then developed in the commentary and analysis sections... The introduction to the Language Levels [is] a useful guide to applying these to the novel. The explanation of the Gothic fantasy genre links brilliantly to this aspect of AO3, which is the AO students seem to find challenging.
