New GCSE English Edexcel Unseen Poetry Guide includes Online Edition

Great book with loads of tips and advice on how to tackle unseen poetry section in exam

Lovely book, exactly as described, thank you!

Helpful for my sons g.c.s.e's. Finished now so we will see when he gets his results but didn't obviously solely rely on this book

The GCSE English Edexcel Unseen Poetry Guide is a solid resource for helping students navigate one of the most frustrating parts of the GCSE syllabus. The poetry chosen for GCSE these days often lacks rhyme or metre and seems to be chosen for its obscure themes rather than its literary merit. Worse still, the exam questions expect students to gush over these works as though they were timeless masterpieces, which feels forced and insincere. That said, this guide does an excellent job of breaking down the process of analysing unseen poetry into manageable steps. It provides clear examples, useful tips for approaching different types of questions, and plenty of practice material. My daughter found it straightforward to use, and it gave her the confidence to deal with the subject despite her lack of enthusiasm for the poems themselves. While it can’t change the nature of the poetry set for GCSE, this book ensures students are equipped to handle it as efficiently as possible. My daughter did well enough in this section of her exam, and I think this guide played a significant role in that success. Recommended for students who need to get through this part of the syllabus with minimal pain.
