A* Tudor History essay addressing the question ‘How accurate is it to say that protection by the Catholic nobility was the main reason for the survival of Catholicism in England in the years 1529–88?’.

Revision document produced by an A* English Literature A-level student containing key quotations, written analysis, critic quotes and production notes for EVERY character and theme in Twelfth Night. This will save a student from countless hours of researching which could instead be used for practising essay skills etc.
In technical terms, this covers AO1, AO2, and AO5 and was designed with Paper 1 of the OCR English Literature A-level exam in mind, but may prove useful for other exam boards.
The tables for each theme/character are split into three columns: AO1+2, AO5 (critics) and AO5 (production). The content in the second and third columns is designed to line up with the relevant quotations in the first column e.g. Viola’s “barful strife” would link to her being a “paragon of feminine virtue” (Cash) and is demonstrated by the Carroll 2012 production.
