This presentation is a very useful revision of all the contexts of the GCE AQA spec A pre 1900 poetry anthology. Slides ask students to identify aspects of the following periods: Renaissance, Restoration, Romantics, Victorian, Decadent movement and then to consider how love is typically reflected in poetry from each of those eras. Suggested answers are given in subsequent slides. I encourages students to see the poems as part of a period or movement and prompts discuss about what is typical of the poems from each age.

This is a very close analysis of Hamlet’s first soliloquy and may be used for teaching all A level specs.

Please leave a review if it’s helped you! A very detailed presentation on how conflict is presented in Act 1 of the play. Useful for all GCSE specs this structure could also be utilised for the rest of the play: conflict in battle, in relationships, in nature, in the supernatural, internal conflicts and in imagery. Some slides are fully annotated, others leave gaps for students to suggest ideas and to finish off. Teachers could choose to not reveal any of the annotations and allow students to respond on their own to quotations first.

This resource took a long time to put together but is worth it. The teacher chart covers all the literary periods (although I timed this from Middle English not Anglo Saxon). Each time period includes features of the era and an exemplar text/writer with a short critique on what they say about love/how it’s presented. I have included a student copy which is a mixed up chart with no dates so that students can attempt to order the literary periods and the texts appropriately, discussing the features evolving over time.
