Overview

The step up from GCSE to AS level poetry analaysis can seem daunting. This clearly written 140 page study guide aims to bridge the gap. However, there is now a second edition to this book. Please scroll down further on this list! The Edexcel have changed their requirement to 20 poems and the second edition reflects this. This first edition includes a detailed analysis of all 28 poems from the Forward Anthology which Edexcel candidates need to study. This study guide is for students sitting exams in 2017 and 2018. It is designed for students who are either moving straight from GSCE to A level (and thus not sitting AS levels in Year 12) and also for students who have taken AS level in Year 12 and are now preparing for their final A level exams in Year 13. (There is a separate volume for Year 12 AS students. Do not buy both!) At A level, the task centres on comparing a poem from the anthology with an unseen poem which will be given to you at the start of the exam. It is a tall order! This guide contains specific instructions on how to react sensibly and effectively when confronted with an unseen poem. It takes the view that, by thoroughly getting under the skin (and into the head) of the writer's of these poems, you will be able to answer your exam question with confidence. Get the book when you begin to study the poems in class and you will be able to use it to support you with homework assignments.
