Each set of notes is fully illustrated, with pictorial glosses and, where relevant, links to sounds and images, so that you can read about John Keat’s ‘Ode to a Nightingale’ while listening to a nightingale singing!

Before a detailed commentary on each text, a critical introduction is provided, analysing a key theme or idea of the work under discussion: examples are the significance of death in Hamlet or the boundaries of masculinity in Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea.

There are numerous sites offering the same standard fare of biography, contextual material and simple thematic analysis; a set of Tower Notes is full of fresh ideas and new, stimulating readings; it will increase your enjoyment and appreciation of all your favourite books.
