A Level English Literature Revision Guide

The whole of A level English literature in twenty-one pages: how the five objectives are weighted and what the course must contain, then reading in different ways, how writers shape meaning, and poetry, prose and drama in turn, a toolkit of twenty-four terms, building an argument and a model analytical paragraph, quoting and referencing, context, traditions and genres, connections across texts and a model comparison, different interpretations, unseen texts and the independent study, closing on judgement and independence, the mistakes that cost marks and a final knowledge check. Every page has a drawing made for it, a worked example in three steps, three misconceptions and cover-and-test questions.
