Riassunto

This is a self-contained study book which aims to lead the student through the section-by-section study of "Far From the Madding Crowd" within its social, historical and cultural context. It draws out key points, themes and characterization through class discussion, and offers individual activities in reading, writing and oral tasks to motivate students to form their own opinions. It also offers opportunities to explore Thomas Hardy's writing in context of his life and times. The book can be used alone or alongside the "Hodder English 4" course book, and offers comprehensive coverage of National Curriculum requirements for the study of literary texts at Key Stage 4. Activities and stimuli in the text help to generate written coursework for GCSE English.

Su questo libro

Recensione

...they are beautifully produced: sturdily made, finely printed and illustrated, with clear, inviting and highly practical layout. There is an editorial team behind them with a track record known to many teachers, inspiring confidence and producing consistency. There is care not just for the integrity of the text being studied, but for the methodology used. Pupils respond to the texts with reading, writing, speaking and listening: the indivisibility of English as a subject is never lost sight of. But what makes the books most rworth having is the understanding of the texts themselves: not only in their historical and social contexts, but also as aesthetic objects obeying laws and structures of their own. I recommend them strongly. (Times Educational Supplement)
