Product Description

Landscape and Literature

Author/s: Stephen Siddall

Landscape and Literature introduces students to the exploration of different ways in which landscape has been represented in literature.

It focuses on key aspects of this topic such as the importance of pastoral, contrasts between city and country, eighteenth-century developments from neo-classical to picturesque and Romantic ideas of the sublime, regional novels of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and varied styles of twentieth-century poetry from the Georgian poets to Heaney and Hughes.

Poems and prose extracts from writers such as Marvell, Wordsworth, George Eliot, Hardy, Lawrence and Seamus Heaney are included.

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.
