The "World's Wife" by Carol Ann Duffy: everything you need to catch up, study and prepare for 2021 assessments and 2022 exams (York Notes Advanced)

Could have been more in-depth

It has lots of info - which as an IB student I'm extremely happy about....BUT - it often just pointed out literary terms that the poet used without explaining why the poet chose that and what effect it had..... I mean it's great! And if you're considering buying it - go for it! But just be prepared that sometimes it just doesn't give all the info you wanted so you have to make additional research on google. Good luck!

This guide has been extremely helpful for my daughter who studied AS English Literature, it helped her a lot both with her coursework and her exam technique, providing quotes and essential critical interpretation!

Brilliant guide to the wondrous World's Wife. I love these poems and this book helped me to understand the poems in other ways. The only quibble I have is that Mrs Macready in Mrs Midas is surely not a reference to The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. That seemed to be reaching too far! Surely just a reference to CAD's experience of being a Primary School child. Otherwise brilliant notes.

As a Speech and Drama Teacher, this book is a useful addition to the main book for both teacher and student.

I haven’t yet read the book so cannot comment on the content, but the print quality is awful. The text is fuzzy and difficult to read. Not the sort of quality I would have expected from York Notes.

Useful for teaching my college students

Great work from York Notes. Aided massively with some fantastic annotations and explanations. Carefully thought out structure to make it simple for the reader. The service was also excellent in receiving the book!
