Tess of the D'Urbervilles Reviews

This aid to the understanding of, and exam success in A-level English Literature exam questions on Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles, is consistently excellent. The text is pitched perfectly so as not to be too dense nor too frivolous, whilst key aspects of the text are covered with enthusiasm and genuine insight. Sample exam questions and excerpts from high-order responses are included for all the major exam boards, and specimen plans are also incorporated to help students with essay structure. As an experienced A-level Literature teacher I taught Tess for the first time this year, and would have found the course a lot harder to deliver without this text. Highly recommended for students and teachers alike. -- Amazon reviews
