Product Description

The Literature of Love

Author/s: Mary Ward

The Literature of Love is designed to introduce students to one of the central themes in literature.

Focusing first on different types and aspects of love - physical, emotional, spiritual - it then offers a chronological coverage, aiming to illustrate ways in which attitudes to the representation of love in literature have evolved from Chaucer to the present time.

Other sections of the book examine particular genres such as the love sonnet, the love letter and 'romantic' fiction; and the differing reception of this literature over time is also considered.

The book includes extracts from a range of authors.

Features:

  • Each title includes a wide-ranging yet carefully levelled introductory discussion of a literary period, genre or theme, to provide students with an excellent introduction to an area of literature.
  • Helps students to address the new assessment objective 4 ('demonstrate understanding of the significance and influence of the contexts in which literary texts are written and received') - worth up to 35% of the A level qualification under new guidelines.
  • Discussion questions and end-of-section tasks offer an invaluable resource for self study as well as helpful exam preparation.
  • A mini-anthology of texts and extracts saves teachers time searching for appropriate 'wider reading' texts.
