A Level English Crime Poetry Cluster Detailed Analysis paragraphs

Featuring detailed analysis of George Crabbe (Peter Grimes), Robert Browning (My Last Duchess, The Laboratory, Porphyria’s Lover) and Oscar Wilde (The Ballad of Reading Gaol) over 13 detailed pages.

When revising the ‘Elements of Crime Writing’ poetry clusterfor AQA English Literature B (A-Level) I thought about making lists of quotes/contexts/critics like I’d seen so many others do. But this seemed a waste of time given that its only the paragraphs you make that count in the exam - and so it’s important to figure out beforehand how all your info fits together!

So I made this document with a huge number of really detailed PEE paragraphs with critics, links between poems/to other texts, and quotes analysis that can easily be adapted to a wide range of essays for the poetry cluster. This is the easiest, most efficient (and in my view best) way to revise for the text. If you’ve revised all the points in this massive resource you’ll know all you need for the poetry cluster for the exam!
