King Lear: A Study Commentary (Teaching Copy)

This 198-page resource supports teachers and students working towards GCE A Level, IB and AP examinations. It is a line-by-line analysis of the play at a level, and in a manner, that all senior students will find accessible and engaging. It asks, of each scene, ‘What’s really happening here?’ and offers detailed answers – while challenging students, by means of brief but penetrating writing tasks, to find answers of their own.

It also includes an extensive essay bank of questions in the style of A Level, AP and IB written examinations.

It is available in both a Teaching Copy (this one) and a Student Edition (with a separate Answers section at the end).

Both Word and .pdf versions have been included to allow maximum flexibility, and they can be used alongside any edition of the play, thanks to the running line references in the margins.

From an official AP Central Teachers’ Resources Review: “A superb teacher’s resource: it offers a beautifully structured plan for a curriculum unit on Lear.”

A Library Edition (paperback) has recently been published under the title ‘Study Guide: A King Lear Commentary: Teaching Copy’ and with the ISBN 978-1071193921 (enter in any Amazon Search box).
