Synopsis

Brit Lit is a fully annotated, year-long course which guides high-school readers to the important questions in the greatest British classics.

Each volume of Logos Press's Brit Lit volumes gives you both the unabridged primary sources and the complete reference tools that teachers and students would need during a year-long British Literature class. No more flipping back and forth between reference books and dog-eared thrift editions: For the first time, the classroom helps and the classics themselves are interwoven for classical & Christian schools. Selected and edited by Rebekah Merkle, a veteran teacher at Logos School in Moscow, ID.

Each volume includes daily reading schedules; engaging comprehension questions for every day's reading with detailed answers; introductory essays highlighting themes and offering a Christian perspective; page-by-page, on-the-spot marginalia offering explanations, context, and important notes; memorization for 200 lines of poetry over the year; 90 integrative assignments and supplementary poems in the Poetry Workbook; comprehensive end-of-volume tests over readings and the Poetry Workbook.

This volume includes Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest and Gilbert & Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance, and assigns passages from Rudyard Kipling, Lewis Carroll. Volume X: Poetry Workbook includes these passages and covers how to coin words and write a nonsense poem.
