Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen : a commentary / study guide for A level students, undergraduates and teachers.

The Tempest, a commentary / study guide is a detailed academic guide to the play, scene by scene. (The long second scene of the play has commentaries on five sections.) The commentaries include context, critics and performance. I wrote this guide for my eighteen-year-old students, but it would also be useful at university level. One of the documents contains a simpler commentary on the whole play, for those students who find Shakespeare particularly challenging.
