Book Description
"A great teacher," Jeremy Paxman, BBC's Newsnight. "Clearly Francis Gilbert is a gifted and charismatic teacher," Philip Pullman, author of Northern Lights. "Gilbert writes so well that you half-suspect he could give up the day job," The Independent. Are you a student struggling to understand Brontë's classic novel Jane Eyre? Or are you an English teacher wanting ready-made exercises and guidance to help you teach this difficult text? Do your students need support to understand the language properly and work independently on the book? This edition of Brontë's classic novel contains a comprehensive study guide to the work as well as extensive questions for students to work on in order to help their understanding. Aimed specifically at students and teachers reading the book as an exam text, there is an extensive introduction which outlines the historical context of the novel, the ways in which it was influenced by the Gothic genre and how it is structured. The complete text is punctuated by useful comments and questions on every chapter. These questions are differing types: there are comprehension questions, questions which will provoke more in-depth analysis and questions which will require students to respond creatively to the novel. At the end of the book is a section on how to write successful essays. When you buy the paperback, you will be able to access the e-book for free and use many of the web links which are embedded in it. "What's really great about this edition is that my students can work through it and there are interesting and useful questions waiting for them at the end of every chapter," a secondary English teacher. "This was a good book to work through on my own. Buying the paperback meant I got the e-book free and I was able to use all the nifty links embedded in the text as well," an A Level student.
