Synopsis

These study notes were written for the OCR A-level syllabus, but, as they include most of his major poems, will be useful for any course of study. They include the full text of all the set poems, glossaries, questions on the poems, commentaries, essays on themes, sample examination questions, and a brief biography. A unique feature of these notes is the "lite" version of the longer poems. These are abridged versions (by omitting some of the text and replacing it with short prose summaries) which can be used as a first step in the study of the complete poems, the text of which, along with further questions and notes, is also included.

About this title

About the Author

In Conisbrough, in the West Riding, I spent most of my childhood, where there's an old castle, presiding over the local neighbourhood. The castle teased me with its mystery and got me interested in history. Then at Leeds University I took a Literature degree, Choosing an option on Jane Austen and Regency Society, and also one on poetry: worlds which I loved to get lost in - and now I show appreciation by trying my hand at narration.

But wait! I have not finished yet: I want to be Poet Laureate - but my poor verse is much too stuffy. I ought to write, like Carol Duffy, of "ishoos" such as global warming and bankers' bonuses, but I can't get the Muse on, though I try.
