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.
