Handley: Prose

by Graham Handley

Published 11 January 1991
Aimed at students and their teachers, the book uses a thematic approach to stimulate involvement with a selection of texts which share a common theme, genre or intention, together with advice on planning coursework and a range of worked examples, including assignments on commonly set texts.






Part of the "Brodie's Notes" series, this book aids English literature GCSE and A-level students in their coursework projects and study of set texts by increasing understanding and enjoyment of the books. It is designed to provide imaginative responses, and should help to stimulate independent critical appraisal of Joyce's "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man". Other features include: background to the work; summaries of the text; critical commentaries; analysis of characterization, style, structure, setting and themes; and sample questions for guidelines.
