2.0 out of 5 stars Prehaps it was my fault but ..., 2 April 2006
By Mr. Joe Sullivan "multijoe" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The analysis of the peoms is not superb. Adequate, but nothing so profound that I'd buy this knowing the actual POEMS are not included, which is what I bought this book for. I figure if they're going to publish a book of analysis, they may as well include the poems (as quotations were from the Duchess of Malfi in the same series).
Personally I found Cambridge's Contexts in Literature 'The Great War in British Literature' much better, providing great amounts of social, political and literary context, as well as a fair amount of novel extracts, poems, letters and essays AND advice on how to approach and write about texts. Seriously, that book teaches the subject better than some teachers I've had. Buy that : )

5.0 out of 5 stars The horror and the glory, 4 Jun 2009
By Barney McGrew "Charlie" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
The York Notes series continues to be the leading range of GCSE and A-level study guides. If you are a GCSE student this will be invaluable for your coursework/exam preparation, as it covers all of the poems in the 'World War I' section of the AQA poetry anthology. Covering language, structure, form, style and context, amongst other useful exam information; the guide also offers a summary of each poem and some advice on how the poems can be compared. Essential book for students, and a competitive price on here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Especially useful for A level pupils, 12 May 2004
By miss c warner (Aldridge, West Midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I have used quite a few Yorks Notes books for books i have been studying and i have found each one very useful in writing essays and with helping me to gain a better understanding of the books. This is a useful book as it analyses poems from a wide range of poets and helps make them easier to understand and analyse.

I buy a lot of York Notes books for my studies, and sometimes not for studies just to help me understand as they are usually really good! Read more

I felt like a bit of a twit for buying this when I'm no longer at school; I don't have to study poetry. Read more
