Synopsis

This is a self-contained study book which aims to lead the student through the section-by-section study of "Far From the Madding Crowd" within its social, historical and cultural context. It draws out key points, themes and characterization through class discussion, and offers individual activities in reading, writing and oral tasks to motivate students to form their own opinions. It also offers opportunities to explore Thomas Hardy's writing in context of his life and times. The book can be used alone or alongside the "Hodder English 4" course book, and offers comprehensive coverage of National Curriculum requirements for the study of literary texts at Key Stage 4. Activities and stimuli in the text help to generate written coursework for GCSE English.
