Each book in the Study & Revise series is designed as a year-round course companion to instill in-depth textual understanding. By the end of each book, students will have developed their understanding of plot, characterization, themes and language. Written by experienced teachers and examiners, the books contain targeted advice on planning and structuring a successful essay, detailed commentary and contextual information, and thought-provoking questions that encourage students to form their own responses for building critical and analytical skills.
