Introduction to AQA Poetry Anthology: Love and Relationships
in AQA Poetry Anthology Love and Relationships
This podcast is an introduction to the anthology, answering key questions, such as where do the poems come from? What do I need to know for the exam? It gives guidance of the assessment objectives (AO's), such as when and where to use light touch and gives you a context/background to the Anthology. Furthermore, it examines different approaches to poetry, especially on how to read and interpret.
PLEASE NOTE:
There is an error in the recording as follows @ approximately 5 min, 20 seconds:
"There’s also the writer’s personal context. Comparing Neutral Tones with Winter Swans, over a hundred years apart, it’s useful to know that Neutral Tones was written after Hardy’s wife’s death and that Owen Sheers wrote Winter Swans as part of a collection called Skirrid Hill."
It should in fact say that Neutral Tones was written long before Hardy's wife's death and not afterwards.
