Feminine Gospels Analysis A Level English Literature AQA A

*A poem by poem analysis of Carol Ann Duffy’s Feminine Gospels used for the AQA A English Literature A Level **

On each page, there is the poem written in full and colour coded analysis clearly displayed around the text. The name of the poem and its position in the anthology is also clearly shown.

• A summary / brief idea / intention of the poem - yellow
• Language analysis with quotes in bold - green
• Structural analysis - purple
• Alternative interpretations / possible surrounding ideas - blue

In the AQA A specification these poems are compared with another text selected by a school / centre. There may be rare references to Ian McEwan’s Atonement within these notes, since this was the text studied at my centre.
I intend to be transparent with what is included in these notes, so please note that the poem ‘Gambler’ no.16, has particularly weak analysis due to its irrelevance in Atonement.
