5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading when studying novels at any level, 11 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This book has proved invaluable for use during my English A-level. It provides as much historical background as is neccessary when studying literature from the medieval period into the twentieth century. It also provides advise on how to approach Shakespeare, prose and poetry, which is helpful outside reading alongside lessons. Understanding the social and historical contexts of a novel is essential to an English Literature course, and this book supplies all the knowledge that is needed.
