I got full marks in the as exam. When mentioning context I put a few lines explaining what the Victorian views were on women - as it was a text on women - and how the text expressed or opposed common views.

Hey, not to quite literally be the third person to ask but i would also like some of your notes if possible please, ive got the AS AQA English Language & Literature Exam on the 17th May, so any help with the Anthology Notes or anything you have handy would be very appreciated as i need a better structure for comparison, we have an unseen texts comparison for 32 marks and then seen text comparisons from our anthology for 64 marks, could do with a hand :smile:
I will be posting my exam technique later but it is for lita1 not lit and Lang sorry x

Does anyone know if you can use novels/dramas outside of the wider reading list? Ive read a few from Elizabeth Gaskell other than Mary Barton so would I be able to use them even though they aren't on wider reading list? Thanks
Hi all,

Sorry it took so long, was trying to find the original thread I had posted this on. My exam technique is described in this thread:

God luck everyone!

Yes, as long as it is Victorian Literature it doesn't matter. The wider reading lists are purely for guidance.

That's good :smile: How is everyone organising there wider reading? 1 of each (prose,drama,poetry) for every topic (women,progress,class,evolving attitudes) or just a random mixture if that makes sense lol
