  This text, for students of both the AS and the full A Level qualification in English Literature, gives students an understanding of historical and social contexts for major authors and works, including pre-1770 texts. It also offers a historical overview of the criticism of key texts through the ages, and discusses the development of the different genres and sub-genres of literature. With exam practice questions and stimulating coursework ideas on context and genre, it provides specific coverage of the contextual approaches now required by all examination boards, focusing on the new Assessment Objectives in A Level English Literature.
